Brilio.net - Gas cylinders used in the kitchen are often placed directly on ceramic floors . Although it looks natural, this can cause problems, one of which is the appearance of rust marks that are difficult to remove. Gas cylinders made of metal are susceptible to corrosion, especially if exposed to moisture in a kitchen environment that is often wet. These rust stains not only interfere with the appearance of ceramic floors, but can also be increasingly difficult to clean if left too long.
Rust on gas cylinders is formed due to direct contact with cold and damp ceramic floors. The interaction between metal and water triggers an oxidation reaction, which causes a layer of rust to form. Over time, these stains can become firmly attached to the ceramic surface and are difficult to remove with regular cleaning alone. In addition, the friction that occurs when the gas cylinder is moved can also potentially damage the floor surface.
To prevent this problem, using a protective mat such as a plastic or rubber coaster under the gas cylinder can be an effective solution. In addition, keeping the area around the cylinder dry and free from liquid spills also helps reduce the risk of rust formation.
If the ceramic floor is already rusty, there is a simple way to clean it. A trick once shared by YouTube user Mitra Alinafa shows that with just one simple ingredient, rust stains can be removed easily.
As reported by brilio.net from YouTube Mitra alinafa on Thursday (3/27), the simple ingredient in question is bathroom cleaning fluid. Well, this fluid is indeed designed to clean stubborn stains, including rust. Therefore, he relies on this ingredient to eradicate rust on ceramic floors.

How to use it, directly pour the bathroom cleaning fluid onto the rusty floor surface. Then smooth it using a brush. For maximum results, let it sit for a few minutes so that the cleaning fluid is completely absorbed into the stain.

Next, scrub using a brush or a rough sponge. If necessary, you can add more cleaning fluid. After that, continue scrubbing until the rust is completely removed. Then rinse and wipe off the remaining dirt and cleaning fluid.

Well, the cleaned floor is now shinier. But for maximum results, it is better to clean the floor again with dish soap. This will make the floor more abrasive. That way, there are no rust marks left on the ceramic floor. This indicates that bathroom cleaning fluid and dish soap are really very effective in removing rust stains from gas cylinders.
How to safely place gas cylinders in the kitchen.1. Keep away from heat sources.
Place the gas cylinder in an area that is not exposed to direct heat from the stove or other kitchen equipment.
2. Use a protective mat.
Use a plastic or rubber coaster to prevent the tube from coming into direct contact with the floor, preventing rust and scratches.
3. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Place the gas cylinder in an area with good air circulation to prevent gas buildup in the event of a leak.
4. Position the tube perpendicularly.
Make sure the gas cylinder is standing upright so that the gas flows steadily and does not cause leaks.
5. Check the hose and regulator.
Make sure the hose and regulator are in good condition, not cracked or leaking, and are tightly attached.
6. Keep away from flammable objects.
Avoid placing gas cylinders near cloth, paper, or other flammable materials.
7. Use a dry room.
Avoid placing gas cylinders in damp areas or areas frequently exposed to water to prevent corrosion of the cylinder.
