The floor of the house is one of the areas most susceptible to bacteria and germs. This is because the floor of the house is easily exposed to dust and various kinds of stains such as food, drinks, or even dirt carried on the soles of the feet. Well, these various kinds of stains will certainly make the floor look dirty, even blurry.
Stains stuck to the floor must be cleaned immediately. If not, the stain will stick and crust. When the stain has turned into crust, of course it will be more difficult to clean it.
The condition of the floor of the house which is full of crusty stains is often a problem for many people, including Instagram user @sabakimia. Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that the crust stains on the floor of his house were very difficult to clean. Even if it has been mopped, the stain cannot be removed immediately.
"Usually semi-dry bathroom floors, the floor at the back of the house, or the terrace of the house tend to become black crusty and opaque because of the water," he explained.
If left alone, crusty stains will disrupt the overall aesthetics of the house. Crusty and opaque floors make the occupants uncomfortable. Therefore, you need to remove the stain immediately.
