The bathroom is a space that is used every day, so it is most important to keep it clean. However, even if you let your guard down a little, you will quickly get water stains in the washbasins, toilets, bathtubs, and tile gaps. Water grime is not just something you don't want to see, it can also cause bacterial growth and odor. The bigger problem is that over time, the dirt hardens, making cleaning much more difficult. Then, how can you effectively remove water stains with materials that are readily available at home. Let's find out step by step from now on.
Melt in water with citric acid
Citric acid is effective in dissolving the calcium component, which is the main component of water. Dilute the powder in warm water, put it in a sprayer, and sprinkle it evenly on the wet area. Leave it for about 20 minutes to soften the dirt, and then lightly rub it with a scrubber to remove it neatly. It is especially useful for shower booth glass or the edge of the sink.
Scrub off with baking soda
Baking soda has abrasive power and is excellent in removing hardened water stains. If you rub a wet scrubber or toothbrush with baking soda, the old water stains will fall off with the foam. It is particularly effective in areas where it is difficult to wipe, such as tile gaps and toilet edges.
Using Vinegar
Vinegar, which is commonly used in the kitchen, is also a great cleaning tool. Acidic components play a role in melting alkaline water stains. Spray vinegar in a sprayer, leave it for 10 to 15 minutes, and rinse with water. It is especially good for removing white stains around the faucet when flushing the toilet.
a simple brush with toothpaste
Toothpaste contains abrasives and surfactants, making it suitable for cleaning small areas of water. If you wipe the tap or sink with toothpaste on the remaining toothbrushes after use, you can even recover the sparkle. It is a simple yet effective method.
Scrub with lemon slices
The citric acid component of lemon gently melts the water stain. Rub a piece of lemon cut in half into a faucet or shower head and rinse it with water, and the stain disappears cleanly. After cleaning, a subtle lemon scent remains to give a refreshing feeling.
Making a habit of post-cleaning care
Preventing recurrence is as important as removing water stains. After cleaning, let's make a habit of wiping off moisture with a dry towel and ventilating frequently. It's a small habit, but it's the most effective way to prevent water stains from happening again.
The more you leave the toilet wet, the harder it becomes and the harder it is to clean. However, it can be easily solved by using daily ingredients such as citric acid, baking soda, vinegar, toothpaste, and lemon. Above all, if you manage it after cleaning, you can maintain a clean bathroom without water for a long time. From today, let's practice small habits to create a pleasant and refreshing bathroom.
