Brilio.net - The bathtub functions as a container for storing water that is often used every day. Because it is always in a humid condition, the bathtub is prone to dirt and is easily covered in scale, especially if it is rarely cleaned. Blackish stains often appear at the bottom of the tub and are increasingly difficult to remove if they have crusted. In fact, even though it has been brushed repeatedly, the scale is still visible on the surface.
The condition of a bathtub full of scale not only makes it look dirty, but it can also affect the quality of the water used. Therefore, maintaining the cleanliness of the bathtub by cleaning it regularly is an important step.
There is an easy way to remove stubborn crust in the bathtub without having to spend a lot of effort. One of these tricks was once shared by YouTube user Phije Channel. In the uploaded video, the cleaning process is seen using only one simple ingredient combined with kitchen ingredients. The results are very effective, making the black crust on the bottom of the tub disappear completely. Before the cleaning process began, the condition of the bathtub was seen to be covered in black stains, especially on the bottom and inside, so the difference after cleaning was very clear.

To clean it, he immediately took citric acid and one kitchen ingredient, dish soap. The two ingredients were immediately mixed together and dissolved in boiling water.
"Don't forget to keep stirring until everything is evenly mixed," he said, quoted by brilio.net from YouTube Phije Chanel on Monday (25/12).

Then apply the cleaning mixture to the inside of the tub. Without the need to scrub again, the crust in the tub looks like it has disappeared instantly.
"Even though we just rubbed it with our hands, it didn't come off. If we use this method, the dirt can come off like this," he explained.

After being smeared evenly, immediately rinse the inside of the bathtub using running water. To get maximum cleanliness, this netizen repeated the same process twice. As a result, after being smeared with cleaning fluid and rinsed, the bathtub was maximally clean. Not without reason, reported by thespruce.com, a mixture of citric acid and soap is considered effective in removing stubborn stains.

Tricks to prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs in the bathroom tub quickly.Keeping the bathroom tub clean is the main step to prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs in it. The water in the tub should be drained and replaced regularly, at least twice a week, so that mosquito larvae do not have time to develop into adult mosquitoes. In addition, the walls and bottom of the bathtub need to be brushed to remove moss and dirt that can be a place for mosquito eggs to stick.
Covering the bathtub with a lid or gauze can also be an effective way to prevent mosquitoes from having access to lay eggs in it. If the bathtub cannot be covered, sprinkle larvicide such as abate in the right amount to kill mosquito larvae without endangering health. Another alternative is to keep small fish such as betta fish or guppies in the tub, because these fish can naturally prey on mosquito larvae.
Maintaining good bathroom ventilation also helps reduce the humidity that mosquitoes love. Make sure there is no standing water around the bathroom, such as on the floor or between soap and shampoo containers. Using natural ingredients such as lemongrass, basil leaves, or eucalyptus oil around the bathroom can also help repel mosquitoes with their scents that these insects don't like.
