You can directly spray vinegar water over the entire surface of the floor that has yellow crust. Then let it sit for 45-60 minutes. When vinegar is applied to the crust, its acidic properties help dissolve the mineral deposits that cause the crust, making it easier to clean. After letting it sit, then scrub it using a brush or a rough wire brush.
