Brilio.net - Kitchen towels are one of the most frequently used tools in the kitchen, from wiping tables, cleaning wet dishes, to wiping oil spills. However, the high intensity of use often makes kitchen towels quickly dirty, oily, and even give off an unpleasant odor. If not properly cared for, these dirty kitchen towels can actually be a source of bacteria and contamination in the kitchen.
Dirt such as food scraps, oil, and moisture from water often get trapped in the fibers of kitchen towels. If not cleaned regularly, the dirt builds up and creates ideal conditions for bacteria to grow. Bad odors also arise as a result of the process of rotting food scraps and growing bacteria. This problem not only affects the cleanliness of the kitchen, but also poses a risk to the health of the food being prepared.
Although it seems trivial, maintaining the cleanliness of kitchen towels requires special attention. The washing process cannot be careless because it can actually make the kitchen towels smell even worse. Therefore, many people use special tricks when washing kitchen towels, one of which is to brush the dirt hard. Although it can remove dirt, unfortunately this method can also cause the fibers on the cloth to wear out quickly.
Then instead, you can use the method of Instagram user @idah.konawe in washing kitchen cloths. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only relying on kitchen ingredients to remove stubborn stains on kitchen cloths. Who would have thought, this kitchen ingredient could be effective in removing stains even without brushing.

As reported by BrilioFood on Monday (6/1), the kitchen ingredients in question are dishwashing soap, baking soda, and vinegar. Well, these three ingredients only need to be mixed together in a small basin or bucket. After that, dissolve it with boiling hot water until all the ingredients are completely mixed evenly.

Once done, then put the dirty kitchen cloth into it. Then press it until the entire kitchen cloth is completely submerged. After that, soak this kitchen cloth for at least 1 hour so that all the dirt is completely dissolved in the water.

Now, after soaking and the water temperature starts to drop, you can immediately lift the kitchen towel. Because the stain has fallen off, you don't need to bother brushing it anymore. You can just rub it briefly with your hands, then rinse it thoroughly under running water.
The washed kitchen cloth can be dried first until dry. That way, the kitchen cloth will immediately be shiny and free of oil. In addition, the aroma is also fresher and does not smell musty. The condition of the kitchen cloth like this will be more comfortable to use because it does not leave stains or odors on the surface of the object wiped with the cloth.
