Brilio.net - Owning a vehicle requires regular maintenance to maintain optimal performance and extend its lifespan. This maintenance includes oil changes, tire checks, electrical systems, and cooling systems. One important aspect is maintaining cleanliness, especially on car windows. Daily use can make glass dirty and moldy due to weather exposure.
Fungus on the glass interferes with the appearance and vision of the driver. If the fungus has appeared, there is no need to go straight to the repair shop. Alcohol is often used to clean fungus, but there are other alternatives using easily found food ingredients. Curious about what ingredients can be used?

"Using raw potatoes can be used to clean rearview mirrors and car windows in rainy conditions and when water spots and fog appear," said the man in the video.
The method is to just prepare a raw potato and a knife. You just cut the potato into two parts. Then use the surface of the potato to rub the moldy glass or water spots.
"Try using raw potatoes, then I smear or rub them on the side windows of the car or on the rearview mirror," said the YouTube channel account MAE satuide.

After rubbing the car windows and mirrors with potatoes, you can spray or rinse them with clean water. The man in the video shows the results. Sure enough, the glass became shiny and did not interfere with the driver's vision. You can repeat the steps above for maximum results.
"So even though I spray it again with water, it turns out that the water still overflows or there is an effect like taro leaves. So the glass still looks clear," said the man in the video.
The video, which has been watched more than 4 thousand times, has drawn various responses from netizens.

Here are some ways to store potatoes so they last longer:
1. Proper storage place.
Potatoes should be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place. Avoid direct sunlight as this can accelerate sprout growth and cause the potatoes to turn green.
2. Store in a cloth sack or basket.
Place the potatoes in a cloth sack or basket that allows good air circulation. Avoid storing potatoes in airtight plastic bags as this can cause moisture buildup.
3. Keep away from fruits.
Avoid storing potatoes together with other fruits because fruit can accelerate the ripening of potatoes.
4. Check and discard any damaged potatoes.
Periodically check stored potatoes and discard any that are damaged or sprouting to prevent spreading to other potatoes.
5. Do not wash before storing.
Avoid washing potatoes before storing them, as excess moisture can hasten spoilage. Wash potatoes only when ready to use.
6. Store in the right place.
For uncooked potatoes, place them in a dark place, such as a cellar or cool storage cupboard.
7. Separate the sprouted potatoes.
Potatoes that are starting to sprout should be immediately separated from the others, because sprouts can accelerate bacterial growth and rot.
