Brilio.net - A ladle is a simple household tool that plays an important role in everyday life. This tool is generally made of plastic and is used to take water from a bathtub or bucket and pour water on the body when bathing. Its simple shape, with a handle and a concave container, makes it easy for anyone to use.
However, even though the ladle seems simple and easy to maintain, there are problems that often arise with use. One common problem that is often encountered is the growth of mold on the surface of the ladle. The humid environment in the bathroom provides ideal conditions for mold to grow, especially if the ladle is not properly dried after use. In addition, the plastic material of the ladle can be a comfortable place for mold to grow.
In addition to the problem of mold, crust that sticks to the ladle is also a concern. This crust is usually formed from soap residue, minerals in the water, or dirt that sticks to the surface of the ladle. If not cleaned regularly, this crust will build up and be difficult to remove, making the ladle look dirty and unhygienic.
Luckily, an Instagram user @safaralles once shared a simple trick in cleaning moldy and crusty plastic ladles . Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted to only using simple ingredients found at home. One of the ingredients even came from the kitchen.
Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @safaralles on Sunday (1/9) is dishwashing soap. Well, this dishwashing soap will later be mixed with other ingredients, such as citric acid and bleach. The mixture of these ingredients can help remove stubborn stains on plastic ladles.

How to use it, just prepare a small bowl first. After that, add enough citric acid, bleach, and dish soap. If so, add hot water until the bowl is full. Then stir using a brush so that all ingredients dissolve perfectly in the water.

Next, apply the liquid to the dirty surface of the ladle. You can use a brush so that the liquid is evenly applied. Once done, scrub the plastic ladle using an old toothbrush until the stain is completely gone.

Well, for maximum results, you can apply the cleaning fluid gradually. Then keep rubbing until the ladle is completely clean. Then if it feels clean, rinse the ladle using running water. That way, the ladle will look shinier because it is free of mold and crust stains.
The upload about the trick to clean the ladle immediately caught the attention of netizens. Among the more than 4,000 viewers, there were many other Instagram users who also gave direct responses in the comments column. Most of them admitted to being amazed by the cleaner ladle results.
" Wow, it's cool, it's clean ," said Instagram user @faiqotulmahmuda.
