Brilio.net - A damp bathroom floor that is rarely cleaned for a long time is at risk of growing moss. In addition to making the bathroom look dirty, moss is also dangerous because it makes the floor slippery and risks causing slipping.
Many people rely on citric acid as an alternative because of its ability to dissolve dirt. However, citric acid is not always easy to find on the market.
As a solution, there is another more practical way with simpler ingredients. The ingredients needed only use two kitchen spices that are at home.
Moss Disappears Instantly with Salt and VinegarThis trick was first shared by a TikTok creator @yulibeoofficial, who showed how to remove moss effectively. She only used salt and vinegar as the main ingredients to clean the bathroom floor that had grown moss.

Salt is the main ingredient in this method because its abrasive properties can help lift moss from the floor. In addition, salt also has an anti-fungal effect that can inhibit the growth of moss in the future.
While vinegar containing acetic acid has the ability to dissolve dirt, kill bacteria, and prevent moss from reappearing. Both of these ingredients are more natural alternatives to the harsh chemicals commonly used in floor cleaners.
To start the cleaning process, the first step that needs to be done is to prepare the cleaning solution. Clean water is put into a container, then a sufficient amount of salt is added so that the solution becomes more concentrated.

After that, toothpaste is added in equal amounts with salt, followed by a little vinegar to strengthen its cleaning effect. All ingredients are stirred until smooth, forming a liquid that is ready to be used to clean the bathroom floor.
The cleaning process begins by sprinkling salt directly onto the mossy floor surface. The sprinkled salt is then doused with a previously prepared solution.

After letting it sit for a few minutes for the ingredients to work to dissolve the moss, the floor can be gently scrubbed. Thanks to the mixture of salt and vinegar, the moss will be lifted more easily without having to scrub too hard.
After the moss is lifted, the floor is rinsed with clean water so that there is no remaining solution stuck. The floor surface is clean and safe to use again.

Tips to Keep Bathroom Floors Clean and Moss-FreeCleaning moss is important, but maintaining a clean bathroom routinely is much better so that moss does not easily reappear. One of the most effective ways is to keep the floor dry and not let water stagnate for too long. Floors that are always damp will grow moss and mold more quickly.
Air circulation also plays an important role in maintaining the cleanliness of the bathroom. Opening the vents or installing an exhaust fan can help reduce the humidity level in the room.
In addition, using floor cleaners regularly with natural ingredients such as salt and vinegar can be a preventive measure to keep floors clean without having to use harsh chemicals.
Regular maintenance will keep the bathroom floor clean and free of moss. Maintaining cleanliness also makes the bathroom safer and more comfortable to use every day.
