Brilio.net - A clean kitchen makes cooking activities more comfortable and food more hygienic. But don't just focus on the kitchen. The dining table must also be cleaned regularly, especially if it is often used to serve food, snacks, and leftovers.
Oil stains, sauces, and crumbs often stick to the table surface. If not cleaned immediately, the stains can turn into crust and make the table surface dull, sticky, and even dull. It is also not uncommon for it to become a nest for bacteria.
Usually, many people directly spray glass cleaner to clean the dining table. This liquid can indeed clean surfaces from glass, wood, to marble. But it is not always effective, especially if the stain is oily. Sometimes it makes the table look dull and sticky.
Well, there is a safer and cheaper way. A netizen named Bahruddin Masady once shared his trick via YouTube. In his video, he used a kitchen ingredient that is very easy to find, namely lime juice.
Simply pour lime juice onto a clean cloth, then wipe it onto the surface of the dining table . Let it sit for a while, then wipe it again with a dry cloth. The result is that the dining table is instantly shiny, dry, and odor-free. Lime contains acid that is effective in lifting oil and killing bacteria.
As reported by Brilio.net from YouTube Bahruddin Masady on Friday (9/5), the kitchen ingredient used is dishwashing soap.
Dishwashing soap is considered to be able to remove stains more effectively. Even dishwashing soap will not leave stains on the surface of the dining table.

First, prepare some tools such as a small bottle filled with water and two kitchen towels. One cloth is used for wet wipes, while the other will be used for dry wipes. While the small bottle is used to spray soapy water onto the table surface. The small bottle can be replaced with a spray bottle.
First, make sure the table is clean from all kinds of items on it. Then pour a little dish soap into a bottle filled with water. After that, shake it until it is well mixed. If so, pour the soapy water onto the dining table.
