Brilio.net - Slippery house floors can be a serious problem if not mopped regularly , especially in the kitchen. The kitchen is one of the busiest areas in the house because it is often used for cooking and preparing food. As a result, the kitchen floor is often a place for oil spills and food scraps, which if not cleaned immediately, can make the floor slippery and dangerous.
When grease or food spills on the floor, they not only leave stains but also a slippery layer that can cause occupants to slip. This condition not only increases the risk of injury but also makes the kitchen look dirty and unkempt. Even small spills that are ignored can accumulate and create a layer that is difficult to clean if left too long.
To keep the kitchen floor clean and safe, it is important to mop the floor regularly. But if it is already oily and slippery, it needs special materials to clean it. The reason is, floor cleaning fluid alone is sometimes not effective in removing oil stains on the floor.
Then instead, you can use the method from YouTube user @boyoung755. Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted to using only two kitchen ingredients to mop the floor.
As reported by BrilioFood on Thursday (12/12), the kitchen ingredients in question are dishwashing soap and salt. In addition, he also uses hot water to mix the two ingredients.

To be more precise, prepare a bucket first. After that, add a little dish soap and 2 tablespoons of salt. Don't forget, pour hot water into the bucket. Then stir all the ingredients using a mop. Because the water is hot, it is better to use a mop that is designed with an automatic wringer.

Next, immediately use the mop to mop the floor as usual. Don't forget to mop the dirty kitchen floor too. Compared to using floor cleaner or other types of soap, this mixture can be more effective in removing oil stains on the floor. That way, the floor becomes more dry and fragrant.

Dish soap and salt are an effective combination for removing oil stains on floors because their chemical properties complement each other. Dish soap is specifically designed to emulsify oil, breaking down fat molecules into smaller particles that are easier to rinse away with water. By using dish soap on oil stains on floors, the oil is not only lifted but also dissolved, leaving the floor cleaner and less slippery.
Salt, on the other hand, has an abrasive texture that helps in scrubbing and removing stubborn stains. In addition, salt has the ability to absorb oil, thus helping in the cleaning process by reducing the stickiness of oil on the floor. This combination makes the floor more dry and clean.
In addition to its effectiveness in cleaning, the use of dish soap and salt also leaves the floor with a fresh and fragrant aroma. Dish soap usually contains fragrance ingredients that provide a clean aroma after use. Meanwhile, salt not only helps clean but also removes unpleasant odors that may be left behind by oil and food residue. Thus, the floor is not only clean and dry, but also fragrant, creating a more comfortable and pleasant environment at home.
