Brilio.net - Rust stains in the kitchen are often a source of annoying and difficult problems to overcome. When rust begins to appear on various iron furniture, such as cabinets and shelves, the kitchen, which should be a clean and tidy place, instead looks dirty and unkempt. Rust not only reduces the aesthetics of furniture, but can also cause structural damage if left untreated.
The main factors that cause rust stains to appear are high humidity and constant exposure to water. The kitchen, as an area that is often wet and humid, is an ideal place for rust to grow. Iron utensils that are not coated with anti-rust materials are very susceptible to oxidation and result in rust formation. Water marks, oil splashes, and hot steam from cooking can also accelerate the rust process, making the stains even more difficult to clean.
Well, if the kitchen furniture is already rusty, there is a trick that can be practiced. This trick was once shared by TikTok user @ratna19811. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only using a few simple ingredients to remove rust without brushing. Even one of the ingredients used came from the kitchen.
As reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @ratna19811 on Tuesday (11/19), the kitchen ingredient in question is dishwashing soap. In addition, she also uses citric acid and bleach. Well, these three ingredients will later be mixed together to clean rust stains on kitchen furniture, one of which is the cupboard.

In addition to cabinets, this cleaning fluid can also be used on other rusty furniture. Starting from tables, chairs, to stoves. However, it is better not to use it on furniture used for cooking or eating utensils. Not without reason, clothes bleach and citric acid can remain on the surface of objects, so it will be riskier if not removed optimally.
How? Easy enough, right? You can apply this method if there are stubborn rust stains in the house. That way, the house and kitchen will be cleaner and shinier because they are free from rust.
