Brilio.net - Maintaining a clean bathroom is very important because the cleanliness of this area affects the comfort and health of its users. A clean bathroom will be free from the growth of bacteria, germs, and fungi that can cause various diseases. Therefore, maintaining a clean bathroom is a priority to create a healthy and comfortable environment.
Not only the bathroom area needs attention, but also the equipment in it, such as soap racks. Soap racks made of aluminum are often easily crusted and rusty when exposed to water. If it is rusty, many people choose to scrub it with citric acid. After scrubbing, the rust on the soap rack will peel off, and after rinsing, the soap rack will be clean and shiny again like new.
However, citric acid is not the only ingredient that can be used to clean rust on soap dish racks. There are other alternatives that can be tried, as demonstrated by YouTube user Raziq Afiqah. In his video, the netizen replaces citric acid with two other kitchen ingredients to remove rust, offering a practical and effective solution to keep bathroom fixtures clean.

Is rust harmful to human skin?
Rust itself is actually not harmful to human skin directly. However, if there is repeated contact with rust or chemicals contained in rust, it can cause irritation or even infection of the skin. In addition, if there is a wound on the skin and it is exposed to rust, tetanus infection can occur. However, in general, rust is not dangerous if it only comes into contact with human skin briefly.
How to deal with food that has been given too much vinegar.Dealing with food that has been over-vinegared can be a challenge, but there are a few ways to fix it depending on the type of food and how strong the vinegar flavor is. Here are some common ways to deal with this situation:
1. Add additional ingredients.
If the food is salvageable, add additional ingredients to neutralize the strong vinegar flavor. For example, for sauces or dressings, add a little sugar or honey to balance the sourness.
2. Add the main ingredients.
If the food is soup or a soupy dish, add more main ingredients such as vegetables, meat, or broth to balance the overpowering vinegar taste.
3. Dilute with other liquids.
If possible, dilute the food with another liquid such as water or broth. This will help reduce the concentration of the vinegar flavor.
4. Add other spices.
Use other strong spices like garlic, ginger, or herbs to add dimension to the flavor and reduce the tendency for the vinegar flavor to be too dominant.
5. Increase the amount of food.
If possible, add more ingredients to even out the vinegar's overpowering taste throughout the dish.
Keep in mind that trying to fix food that has been over-vinegared can be a trial and error process and comes down to personal taste preferences. Its best to be careful with your vinegar and add it gradually, so you can achieve the flavor balance you want.
