Brilio.net - The condition of the gas regulator plays a crucial role in maintaining the smooth flow of gas in various household appliances, such as stoves and water heaters. A properly functioning regulator ensures that gas flows smoothly and safely, so that the stove can work efficiently. However, over time, the regulator hole can become dirty or deposited, which can block the flow of gas and affect the performance of the stove.
Dirty or clogged regulator holes can cause gas flow to become blocked or even stop. This not only disrupts daily activities, but also has the potential to pose a safety risk . Gas that does not flow smoothly can cause the flame on the stove to become unstable, or even trigger a dangerous gas leak. Therefore, maintaining the cleanliness and condition of the gas regulator is very important to avoid this problem.
To ensure that the regulator continues to function optimally, regular checks and maintenance are necessary. Cleaning the regulator hole regularly can prevent the buildup of dirt that can block the gas flow. In addition, using a quality regulator that meets safety standards is also an important step to ensure that the gas flow remains smooth and safe.
Well, if the regulator at home is dirty, you can clean it using the method used by TikTok user @apibirukomporgas. Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted to only using simple tools to clean the regulator. As reported by BrilioFood on Monday (16/12), the tool in question is a cotton bud or ear pick.

How to use it is quite easy. You only need to remove the hose that connects the regulator to the stove. After that, take a cotton bud. Then insert the tip of the cotton bud directly into the regulator hole.

At this stage, you only need to dig the inside of the regulator hole with a cotton bud. Do it slowly and repeatedly until the dirt from inside the regulator can be removed. When the tip of the cotton bud is removed, dirt will appear that changes its appearance to be dirtier.

But in the video, TikTok user @apibirukomporgas also uses another way to clean the inside of the regulator. He opens the regulator hole with a bolt until the end cover comes off. After that, he takes out the gotri or iron ball that is inside the regulator.

Well, if it can be removed, immediately cover it with tissue. Usually, this gotri tends to be dirty because of oil contamination that enters the hose and regulator. To clean it, you only need to rub this gotri with tissue until it is completely clean.
Next, reinsert the gotri into the regulator as before. Then close it again by tapping it with a screwdriver. Then also install the hose that is connected between the regulator and the stove. Now, if the components have been installed, you can use the stove as usual for cooking. Guaranteed the gas flow will be smoother.
