Brilio.net - A dipper is an important tool in everyday life that is often used for bathing and cleaning oneself. Because they are frequently used, these objects must be cleaned regularly. Ideally, scoops that are used every day should be cleaned every week to prevent moss from forming.
Yup! Dippers which are generally made of plastic will very easily become mossy due to moisture. Well, the moss that covers this dipper can turn into a slippery black crust, you know. If it's like that, the dipper will be difficult to clean if you just brush it normally.
To overcome this problem, many people then use special materials. Most people will usually clean the dipper using citrus. For example, soaking it in citrus liquid or rubbing it with a brush after the scoop has been sprinkled with citrus.
Indeed, basically, citrus has become an object that is often relied on to clean various kinds of stains, including slippery black crust on the scoop. But you know what? Using citrus too often is also not good because it has the potential to make the dipper porous and end up damaged.
So to be safer, you can apply the tricks shared by CREATIVE YouTube users. Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that he did not use citrus or strong cleaning fluids. Instead, he relies on simple ingredients found in the kitchen.
