Brilio.net - The bathroom is one of the most frequently used and dirty areas in the house. If not cleaned regularly, various problems can arise, ranging from unpleasant odors, mold growth, to slippery floors. High humidity in the bathroom also makes dirt and soap that sticks more difficult to remove if left too long.
One of the most visible effects of a bathroom that is rarely cleaned is the appearance of limescale stains on the ceramic floor. Soap residue, water, and minerals from hard water can settle and form a dull layer that is difficult to clean. If left continuously, this limescale not only makes the floor look dirty, but also becomes more slippery and poses a risk of slipping.
In addition, a dirty bathroom becomes a place for bacteria and fungi to grow which can cause unpleasant odors and potentially endanger health. Floors and walls that are crusty can become a place for germs to stick, which then spread throughout the bathroom area. Therefore, maintaining the cleanliness of the bathroom regularly is not only about aesthetics, but also for the comfort and safety of the occupants of the house.
To make your bathroom floor cleaner and more dry, you can use a trick from Instagram user @tari_ari_aja. Through one of the videos she uploaded, she admitted that she only relies on simple ingredients found in the kitchen. Well, these kitchen ingredients can remove dirt and slippery stains on the floor without having to brush it.

As reported by brilio.net from Instagram @tari_ari_aja on Wednesday (29/1), the kitchen ingredients in question are baking soda and dishwashing soap. Well, these two ingredients only need to be mixed together in a container. Then, pour in a little water and stir until completely mixed and dissolved.

Once done, apply the cleaning agent to the bathroom floor using a brush. While applying, scrub the floor using the brush. Who would have thought, the surface of the floor that was originally slippery became rougher and immediately clean. This indicates that the mixture of baking soda and dish soap is indeed very effective in removing stubborn stains, such as crust on the bathroom floor.

To keep your bathroom safe and free from scale, regular cleaning of the floor and walls is the main key. Use a mixture of warm water, vinegar, and baking soda to clean soap residue and minerals that can cause scale. In addition, make it a habit to dry the floor after use, especially in areas that are often exposed to water, so that it is not slippery and reduces the risk of moss formation.
Choosing a bathroom floor with a rough texture or installing a non-slip mat can also help prevent slipping. Don't forget to make sure the bathroom ventilation is working properly so that the humidity is not too high, because a humid environment accelerates the growth of mold and scale. With regular maintenance, the bathroom will remain clean, safe, and comfortable to use.
