The gallon pump hose that is often exposed to water , makes this one tool easily filled with moss stains. Especially on the inside of the hose, the stains will definitely be difficult to clean. That's why many people rely on citric acid to clean the gallon pump hose.
Citric acid is known to contain high levels of acid to help remove stains. However, this ingredient is sometimes difficult to find on the market, so not everyone can keep a stock of it at home. Well, for those of you who don't have citric acid, don't worry because there is still one more trick.
A trick to clean a gallon pump hose was shared by TikTok user @deni_rosita. He explained that this trick can be done with one simple ingredient and is still successful in making a gallon pump hose clean even without citric acid.

The first step you have to do to practice this trick is to boil enough clean water until it boils. Yup, hot water will later be the main ingredient to clean the gallon pump hose.

After boiling, transfer the boiled water into a basin. Then, soak the dirty gallon pump hose into the hot water. Let the hose soak for about 10 minutes.

Once soaked, lift the hose and press it to clean the inside. Because it was previously soaked in hot water, the stains on the inside of the hose must be more flexible and no longer stubborn. Finally, rinse the gallon pump hose again with running water. "For the inside of the hose, clean it by massaging it, then clean it with water again," said the owner of the TikTok account @deni_rosita, quoted by BrilioFood on Monday (19/8). If you feel that the gallon pump hose is completely clean, then reattach the hose to the pump. The pump is then ready to be used to take water from the gallon.
