Brilio.net - Bed bugs are a type of small insect that is very annoying. How could it not be, this type of insect often nests in mattresses and causes problems. These include itching, allergies, and even infections. After investigating, bed bugs can appear because of damp environmental conditions .
If you have already been infected with fleas, the mattress must be cleaned immediately. A number of people deliberately wash mattresses to ensure maximum cleanliness. Unfortunately, washing a mattress is a complicated job. Not to mention, the mattress must be dried in the sun for several days so that it dries completely after washing.
So, for those who don't want the hassle, try emulating YouTube user Andi Prayitno's method of getting rid of bed bugs. In his video upload, this netizen didn't need to wash his mattress which was infested with bed bugs at all.
An effective trick to get rid of bed bugs is just adding 2 kitchen ingredients.
Instead of washing it, this netizen just sprayed a cleaning solution he prepared himself. The main ingredients consist of magic chalk, camphor and floor freshener liquid. These three ingredients are then mixed in a container containing 1 liter of water. As for the dosage, it can be adjusted according to your needs, OK?

Once completely mixed, the cleaning solution can be transferred to a spray bottle. The application method is easy, just spray the cleaning solution over the entire surface of the mattress. Without washing, bed bugs die after being sprayed with this solution.
How to store salt so that it lasts long and doesn't water.
To store salt so that it lasts a long time and doesn't run out, you need to pay attention to the following things.
1. Use an airtight container.
Store salt in a tight, airtight container to prevent moisture from entering and causing the salt to become wet or runny.
2. Keep away from moisture.
Store the salt container in a dry place away from sources of moisture, such as the kitchen near the stove or sink. If possible, place the salt container in a cupboard or well-conditioned room.
3. Add moisture absorbent material.
Place a moisture-absorbing material, such as silica gel or uncooked rice, in the salt container. These ingredients will help absorb any moisture that may be around the salt and keep the salt dry.
4. Keep the container closed.
Make sure to always close the salt container tightly after use. Avoid leaving the container open to prevent air from entering and causing the salt to get wet.
5. Avoid storing it in a place that is too hot or exposed to direct sunlight.
High temperatures or exposure to direct sunlight can increase the humidity around the salt. Make sure to store the salt in a cool, shady place.
By keeping the salt dry and tightly closed, you can ensure that the salt remains long-lasting and doesn't water. Always check the condition of the salt regularly and take the precautionary steps above to ensure the quality of the salt is maintained.
