Brilio.net - Over time and continuous use, glass cups at home often lose their natural shine and look dull. This condition not only reduces the aesthetics of the tableware, but can also reduce the appetite for eating and drinking. Glasses that used to be shiny and clear can turn cloudy and look dirty, even though they have been washed clean.
The main cause of glass tarnishing is the buildup of minerals from water. Minerals such as calcium and magnesium can leave residue on the glass surface, forming a thin film that is difficult to remove with regular washing. In addition, the use of inappropriate detergents and excessively high water temperatures can also contribute to this problem.
Restoring the shine to dull glassware is not difficult, but it does require a few extra steps. Some people sometimes use citric acid to remove the dull spots. Soaking the glass in citric acid can help make the glassware shine like new again.

But if the stock of citric acid at home is running out, you can use other kitchen ingredients that are easier to get. This kitchen ingredient was once used by Instagram user @lafina_indonesia. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only using one kitchen ingredient. Reported by brilio.net, Saturday (4/1), the kitchen ingredient in question is salt .

So how to use it, you just need to take a handful of salt. Then rub it directly over the entire surface of the dull glass. Rub it slowly and evenly over the entire glass. After that, rinse under running water until clean.

Rubbing salt into glass can make dull stains disappear and the glass become shinier and clearer because salt has gentle abrasive properties and the ability to break down dirt. Salt has a texture that is coarse enough to rub and scrape dirt stuck to the surface of the glass, but soft enough not to scratch the glass. These abrasive properties help remove mineral buildup and residue that causes dullness on glass.
Salt can help break down and loosen dirt particles that stick to the glass. When rubbed, the salt grains work mechanically to lift stains and mineral deposits that stick to the glass surface, so that the glass becomes cleaner and clearer.
This video about the trick of turning a frosted glass into a shiny one has been watched more than 27 thousand times. Who would have thought, there were many other Instagram users who also gave direct responses through the comments column. Most of these netizens admitted that they wanted to try the trick directly.
" Coarse salt or fine salt? " asked the Instagram account @vidyandini15.
" Just fine salt, ma'am ," replied Instagram user @lafina_indonesia.
" Wow, I haven't tried it yet ," said Instagram @azmatakosaki.
