Brilio.net - Thermos is a very useful tool in everyday life. Its main function is to keep the temperature of the water inside stable, both hot and cold, thanks to its vacuum insulation design.
With a thermos , you can enjoy hot coffee or cold tea all day long without having to reheat it or add ice. However, over time and repeated use, the performance of the thermos can decrease.
This decrease in thermos function is often caused by damage to its insulating components. The inside of the thermos, which should be vacuum to prevent heat transfer, can start to leak or become damaged.
When this happens, the thermos's effectiveness in maintaining the water temperature decreases drastically. As a result, the hot water stored in it will cool more quickly, often only lasting a few hours before the temperature drops significantly. Likewise, cold water will warm up more quickly.
When it's like this, many people then choose to buy a new thermos. But did you know? Thermoses can still be repaired by yourself with some additional components that can help keep the water temperature inside hot. No half measures, these components can keep the water in the thermos hot for up to 3 days.
A TikTok user @ioykreatif once revealed the trick more clearly. Through one of the videos he uploaded, he admitted to only using one simple tool .
As reported by BrilioFood on Tuesday (2/12), the simple tool in question is cloth. More precisely, he uses three pieces of cloth of the same size, then stacked until the shape is thicker.

Well, how to use it is quite easy. You only need to remove the inner tube of the thermos by opening the lid at the bottom. It is better to open the bottom cover using a screwdriver so that the bolts can be easily removed.

After that, take out the thermos tube. Then cover it with three thick sheets of cloth. Wrap it until all parts are tightly closed. Then put it back into the thermos.

Once done, close the bottom cover again using a screwdriver. Now, this thermos can be refilled with hot water or even ice water. Basically, the cloth is useful as an additional layer of insulation that helps prevent heat transfer. Therefore, the water temperature can remain durable for up to 3 days.
This video about the trick of using a thermos to make it last longer immediately caught the attention of netizens. There are even more than 31 thousand TikTok users who liked the upload. On the other hand, not a few also gave direct responses in the comments column.
" It's probably more about the lid, when I was in elementary school my mother had a thermos for hot water that could last for 3 days, the lid was wooden and covered with cloth ," said TikTok @TopixsEraster.
" Using expanding foam is easier and more effective ," said TikTok @saymeanthings.
" Thank you for the knowledge, sis ," wrote the TikTok account @rapasyastore77.
" It's probably more about the material, yesterday my mother had an iron thermos that kept hot water for up to 2 weeks, because every morning she put it on the stove ," commented the TikTok account @YOURDOPAMINE.
" I tried Tar... I happened to be out of town and brought a thermos for brewing coffee and tea... if you buy it at the minimarket, the coffee/tea is quite expensive ," said TikTok @WidyaSarwono.
