Brilio.net - House floors that are often dirty and have thick crust can be an annoying problem because they can affect the comfort of the occupants of the house. One of the main causes of floors that get dirty quickly is high daily activity, especially in areas that are often passed through such as the kitchen, living room, and corridor . Dirt from outside such as dust, soil, and sand can be carried in and stick to the floor, making it look dull and dirty even though it is often cleaned.
In addition, food and drink spills that are not immediately cleaned can also cause thick crust to form on the floor surface. Sticky food residue, oil, and other liquids can seep into the pores of the floor, creating a layer of dirt that is difficult to remove. If not handled properly, these stains and crusts will build up and become harder.
Humidity also contributes to the formation of thick crust on the floor of the house. In areas with high humidity or in rooms that are often exposed to water such as bathrooms and kitchens, floors tend to crust more quickly. Humidity can cause the growth of mold and mildew, which not only makes the floor look dirty but can also be hazardous to health.
To solve this problem, you have to clean the floor properly and maximally. Not without reason, mopping the floor using soap and hot water alone is not enough to remove the stains. Therefore, it takes special materials and methods to make the floor dry again.
Luckily, a YouTube user githa larassati once shared a trick to clean a floor full of stubborn dirt. Through one of the videos she uploaded, she admitted to using simple ingredients. One of them even came from kitchen ingredients.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube githa larassati on Wednesday (11/20), the cleaning agent in question is citric acid, while the additional ingredient is dishwashing soap. Well, these two ingredients can be mixed directly. Then dissolve with enough water.

Once done, apply it directly to the dirty and crusty floor. You can use a wire brush to clean the floor so that the stubborn crust can be lifted. While scrubbing, apply the cleaning fluid to the floor. Then keep scrubbing until clean.

Then when the crust has been lifted, immediately wipe the floor using a cloth. For maximum results, leave it until the floor dries by itself. That way, the floor will be smoother, cleaner and shinier.
