Brilio.net - Kitchen towels are often exposed to stains from leftover food, so they can easily turn dirty or even moldy. This also makes the kitchen towel stiff and smells rancid. Many people then choose to throw away kitchen towels if they are very dirty, because they think they cannot be washed again.

In fact, dirty and moldy kitchen towels can still be washed until they shine if you know how. Tap water and detergent alone are sometimes not effective enough to eradicate stains on kitchen towels, so many people use other ingredients, for example baking soda, citron or citric acid, salt, and so on.

However, different from netizens on the TikTok account @juliaaaajup, this woman has another way to wash kitchen towels which is much simpler, but no less effective for removing stubborn stains and mold. This netizen who is familiarly called Julia said that he only needed two simple ingredients to practice this method of washing kitchen towels.

How to wash dirty, moldy kitchen towels.

First, place a kitchen towel that is dirty and moldy in the basin. Then, pour in enough soap, either detergent or dish soap. Then, mix it with one more ingredient, namely hot water. Make sure the hot water has just boiled after boiling it on the stove.

Yup, detergent or dish soap and hot water are the main ingredients for practicing this method of washing kitchen cloths.

Next, stir briefly and let it sit for approximately 15 to 30 minutes so that the soap and hot water work optimally to remove the stain. After letting it sit, lightly brush the kitchen cloth if there are still stains remaining.

"Then he burns his own dirt like this," said Julia, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @juliaaaajup on Friday (23/2).

Finally, rinse the kitchen cloth with clean water until there is no soap residue left. Squeeze and dry in the sun until dry. Guaranteed, the stains and mold that make it look dirty will completely disappear if you practice this method of washing kitchen cloths.

How to treat skin exposed to hot water with kitchen ingredients.

Accidents during activities in the kitchen can happen, such as spilling hot water and getting on the skin. There are a number of first aid measures using kitchen ingredients that you can practice to relieve injuries caused by exposure to hot water.

1. Cold water.

As soon as possible after the burn, soak the affected area in cold water for about 10-15 minutes. This can help reduce pain and prevent further damage to the skin.

2. Aloe vera.

Aloe vera gel is known to have cooling properties and can help reduce pain and inflammation. You can cut off some aloe vera gel and apply it directly to the affected area.

3. Yogurt.

Cold yogurt can also help reduce the burning sensation on the skin. Apply cold yoghurt directly to the affected area and leave it for some time before rinsing it off.

4. Honey.

Honey has antimicrobial properties and can help in the skin healing process. You can apply a thin layer of honey on the affected area after rinsing it with cold water.

5. Olive oil.

Olive oil has natural moisturizing properties and can help in healing the skin. Apply it gently to the affected area after cleaning it with cold water.

6. Egg white solution.

You can also use egg whites as a natural ingredient to help cool burned skin. Apply egg white on the affected area and let it dry before rinsing with cold water.
