Brilio.net - When cooking, oil in the pan often splashes out . Not only does it hit the surface of the stove, but it can also fall to the floor.
If left unchecked, oil splashes can make the floor slippery and increase the risk of slipping. In addition, accumulated oil stains can dry and turn into a blackish brown crust, making the kitchen floor look dirty.
Cleaning oil stains on the floor requires special treatment. Simply wiping it with a cloth is often not enough, because the floor still feels slippery even after being cleaned.
One effective way to overcome this problem was once shared by a netizen named Lika Sulaiman in her YouTube video. In her upload, she made a special cleaning fluid to remove oil stains on the kitchen floor. In addition to being easy to do, the ingredients needed are also simple, such as dish soap, floor freshener, and water.
Prepare a bucket first as a container for floor cleaning fluid. Once done, pour enough dish soap and floor freshener into the bucket.

Don't forget to add water and stir until all ingredients are well mixed. The floor cleaning fluid is ready to use.
Dip a rag into the bucket. Wring it out and then apply the rag to the floor that has been splashed with oil. However, make sure you have swept the floor first, okay?

According to him, the use of dishwashing soap can clean the floor maximally. Not only as a doormat, dishwashing soap is also effective in removing unpleasant odors on the kitchen floor.
"If we step on it, the floor feels nice. The roughness and fishy smell are no longer there," he said further.
In order to get maximum results, this netizen admitted to mopping the kitchen floor twice. The first time using a special cleaning fluid and the second time using plain water. As a result, the kitchen floor became maximally clean and shiny again.
"The results are very satisfying and not disappointing," he said, quoted by brilio.net from the Instagram account @saslika28 on Sunday (9/3).
