Brilio.net - For coffee and tea fans, just having one or two cups is still not enough. It's not surprising that cups are stocked in large quantities in the kitchen.
However, the appearance of the cup will change over time. After investigating, this is caused by mineral deposits from hard water (water that has a high mineral content) that stick to it. As a result, if you look closely, the surface of the cup is full of brownish crust.
A crusty cup is certainly less pleasing to the eye. Not only that, a cup that looks dirty also makes it uncomfortable to use. Knowing this, a number of people immediately soaked the cup in a bleach solution.
After soaking for a while in the bleach solution, the cup was clean and shiny again. Unfortunately, this process risks making the drink in the cup contaminated with bleach.
How to clean crusty cups safely without bleach.
To be safer, you can wash crusty cups using the method shown by TikTok user @jayamakmurplus. At the beginning of the video, he shows the appearance of his cup which looks dirty. Moreover, the basic color is white, the brownish crust becomes more clearly visible.

To clean it, this netizen only relies on one kitchen ingredient, namely baking soda. Put enough baking soda into the cup. Then pour hot water until the cup is full.
"Let it sit for a while," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @jayamakmurplus on Thursday (15/2).

After leaving it for a while, the water in the cup became cold. Not only that, the appearance of the water inside seemed to have changed murky.
If that's the case, throw the water into the cup. For maximum cleanliness, wash the cup with regular dish soap. Don't forget to scrub it with a sponge, okay?

Finally, rinse the cup using clean water. After ensuring that it is maximally clean, the cup can be drained first before using it again. Even without soaking it in a bleach solution, the cup looks shiny, right?
