Brilio.net - Many people like to use plastic dish racks because they are light, durable, and easy to move. However, continuous use of plastic dish racks can cause moss and crust to appear. This moss and crust not only damage the appearance of the dish rack, but can also be a nest for bacteria and germs that can contaminate plates and cutlery .
The process of moss and scale formation usually begins with water residue that does not dry immediately. Moisture trapped in the gaps of plastic dish racks creates an ideal environment for moss to grow. In addition, mineral deposits from hard water can leave a white crust that is difficult to remove. If not cleaned regularly, this moss and scale can build up further, making the dish rack look dirty and unhygienic.
To overcome this problem, it is important to routinely clean and dry the plastic dish rack after use. However, if it is already mossy and moldy, you need a special cleaning method. Usually some people will use special cleaning agents, such as citric acid.
But instead of using citric acid that can leave residue, you can use other safer ingredients. An Instagram user @rannie_cometea once shared the ingredients through one of the videos uploaded. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only relying on kitchen ingredients.

As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @rannie_cometea on Friday (27/9), the kitchen ingredient in question is baking soda. How to use this baking soda is quite easy. In a small container, add baking soda and mix with a little water. Stir until the baking soda dissolves.

Next, apply the baking soda directly to the dirty dish rack surface. While applying, scrub using an old toothbrush. Do this process until the crust and moss are completely gone.

Then if it feels clean, immediately rinse the dish rack under running water. Well, the cleaned dish rack will look shinier and the color will be bright again. Before using it again, don't forget to wipe and dry the dish rack first. This will minimize the growth of moss or even other stains on the plastic dish rack.
