Brilio.net - Rubber sandals are a favorite choice for many people because of their comfort and durability. However, this type of sandal also has the disadvantage of being easily dirty and moldy. Dirt and mold that grows can make rubber sandals look dull and unhygienic, and cause an unpleasant odor that is disturbing. In fact, clean rubber sandals are not only more comfortable to wear, but also healthier for the feet.

Rubber sandals that are frequently used, especially in humid or wet environments, are very susceptible to dirt buildup and mold growth. Water, dust, and dirt trapped on the surface of the sandals can be an ideal place for mold to grow. Especially if the sandals are not cleaned or dried properly often, constant moisture can worsen this condition. As a result, rubber sandals not only look dirty but can also cause health problems, such as fungal infections of the feet.

To keep your rubber sandals clean and free from mold, regular cleaning and proper care are essential. Wash your rubber sandals regularly with soap and water, and be sure to dry them thoroughly before reusing them. Additionally, spraying them with an anti-fungal solution or using a mixture of vinegar and water as a natural cleaner can help prevent mold growth.

In addition to taking preventive measures, you also need to clean your sandals if they are already very dirty and full of mold. Instead of throwing them away, these sandals can be cleaned again until they are white and shiny again. A Facebook user, Fitri Rahmawati, once shared a simple way to clean dirty sandals using only simple ingredients.

As reported by brilio.net from Facebook Fitri Rahmawati on Wednesday (1/1), the simple ingredient in question is citric acid. In addition, there is another kitchen ingredient used, namely dishwashing soap. These two ingredients only need to be mixed together in a container. After that, dissolve it with hot water.

Next, pour this liquid directly onto the dirty sandal surface. Then, rub it directly using a brush. Who would have thought, dirty stains and mold on the sandal surface could fall off immediately in one rub. Do this process until all the stains are completely gone. Then rinse with running water.
