Brilio.net - Cooking activities in the kitchen produce various types of stains that can dirty the area. The kitchen area is often exposed to oil stains, cooking splashes, and spilled sauces that stick to the stove or floor. The accumulation of stains that are not immediately cleaned can produce an unpleasant odor in the kitchen area.
Regularly cleaning the kitchen after cooking is a must to maintain its cleanliness. Using a rag is a common method chosen to clean various stains in the kitchen. Rags have good ability to absorb oil and grease stains that stick to the surface of equipment and the kitchen area.
However, using a rag to clean a greasy stain can cause new problems. Accumulation of oil and grease on the rag can produce an unpleasant rancid odor. Using a rag in such a condition can actually dirty the cleaned surface again and leave an unpleasant odor.
The problem of dirty and smelly kitchen towels is experienced by many people, including Zulaikha Pratiwy. Through the video content she uploaded, she shared her difficulties in cleaning kitchen towels. The problem becomes even more complicated when the towels are already very dirty and covered in oil.
"This is purely my experience, every time I wash cloth napkins like this. Even though the stains are gone, the result will smell rancid," said YouTube user Zulaikha Pratiwy.

Then the dirty cloth will usually be washed with special materials, such as citric acid or even bleach. These materials are believed to be able to remove stubborn stains such as fat. In addition, the rancid smell on the cloth can also be removed.
But instead of using citric acid and bleach, Zulaikha uses other ingredients that are easier to get.
As reported by BrilioFood on Tuesday (12/17), the YouTube user chose to use dishwashing soap and detergent (powder or liquid). With these two ingredients, grease stains or rancid odors can be removed, you know.

To be more precise, prepare a bucket and add enough dish soap. If so, add detergent. Then put in the kitchen cloth to be washed. Next, pour hot water and soak for 1 hour.

"After soaking, the soaking water becomes very cloudy. There is also fat and dirt," explained YouTube Zulaikha Pratiwy.
Once soaked, immediately rub it using your hands. For stubborn stains, you can scrub it with a brush. While brushing, rinse with clean water. Do this process until the cloth is really shiny.

Finally, rinse under running water until free of foam. Then dry the cloth in the sun until dry. Only then can the kitchen cloth be reused.
"Even though it is not given any fragrance, this cloth smells good, meaning it doesn't smell musty or rancid," he explained further.
Through the comments column, a number of netizens admitted that they wanted to try a similar trick.
