Brilio.net - Water hoses are one of the common household appliances found in every home. Its function is to flow water from one place to another efficiently. For example, watering plants, washing the car , cleaning the outside area of the house, and running water into the washing machine.
With continuous use, water hoses are often neglected and not maintained. This causes dirt, mold and mildew to accumulate in the hose. This buildup not only makes the hose look dirty, but also disrupts the flow of the hose. Apart from that, the water that comes out is not clear and contains a lot of moss.
When they find this, some people usually clean the hose by soaking it in lemon water. Yup, this ingredient is known to be effective in removing stains and dirt on the surface of objects. Don't worry for those of you who don't have citrus stock. Without citrus, there are other ways to clean the hose that you can try at home.
This trick was once shared by Instagram user @lydia.kusyono, you know. After investigating, he only relied on 1 kitchen tool to clean it. These kitchen utensils are also quite easy to find in every home.

According to this Instagram user, the size of the dishwashing sponge used also needs to be considered. Make sure the pieces are not too big, but also not too small.
"Don't make it too big or dense. It will make it clogged," he said.
After that, insert the piece of sponge into the hose. Then attach the hose to the faucet, making sure the part with the sponge is placed on the faucet. Hold the hose attached to the faucet so it doesn't splash out.

Turn on the water. Running tap water will help push the sponge and remove moss and dirt that clogs the inside of the water hose. After the first try, dirt and moss were seen coming out of the hose.
