Toilet crust not only causes lack of aesthetics, but also increases health problems if not treated immediately.

Brilio.net - A crusty toilet is a common problem that many people often face. This crust is formed from a buildup of dirt, minerals and bacteria that stick to the surface of the toilet. The main cause of toilet scale formation is water that contains high levels of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. This water leaves mineral residue when it evaporates and over time forms a crust that is difficult to remove.

Toilet crust not only causes lack of aesthetics, but also increases health problems if not treated immediately. Bacteria trapped in the crust can cause unpleasant odors and potentially spread disease. Apart from that, accumulated limescale can also disrupt the flow of water in the toilet, causing the water to become blocked or even overflow.

To prevent the formation of toilet scale, it is important to clean these toiletries regularly. You can use special cleaners that contain chemicals that can destroy scale. Usually some people will use porcelain cleaning fluid to clean the toilet scale. However, in some cases, this liquid is not really effective in making the toilet clean again.

Instead of using toilet cleaning fluid, you can also use citrus powder. However, if you don't have citrus, you can also use other ingredients, as did a mechanic named Khoirul Afifin. Through his personal YouTube account, Khoirul admitted that he relied on one drink to clean the crust in the toilet.

Reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Khoirul Afifin on Thursday (28/3), the drink ingredients in question are fizzy drinks or Sp*it*. Who would have thought, this fizzy drink could actually make the toilet, which was originally yellow and full of crust, shine more, you know. However, apart from fizzy drinks, there is a tool that must be prepared, namely sandpaper.

How to descale the toilet is quite easy. First, flush the toilet until all parts are wet. After that, flush the crusty area with the fizzy drink. For maximum results, let it sit for 5-10 minutes so that the drink is absorbed into the crust in the toilet.

Next, immediately rub the crust stains with sandpaper. If necessary, you can douse the crust with more fizzy drink. After that, continue rubbing until the crust stains are completely gone.

After rubbing for a few minutes, the crust on the toilet will start to fade and disappear. If you feel it is clean, immediately flush it with clean water. That way, the toilet will look clean and shiny again.

Basically, fizzy drinks contain a number of chemicals that can help dissolve scale and dirt stuck to the surface of the toilet. Chemicals such as citric acid contain acidic properties that can help dissolve minerals that form crust. This acid also helps loosen the bond between the scale and the surface, making the scale easier to remove.

Fizzy drinks, although often consumed as soft drinks, actually have several benefits for the household. Here are some of the benefits:

1. Clean stains on metal surfaces.
