For plaque on plumbing, experts advise trying a remedy with baking soda.

The necessary ingredients:

• soda
• dishwashing detergent
• essential oil.

The secret of the solution lies in essential oils, which not only disinfect but also fill the room with a pleasant aroma.

1. Combine baking soda and dishwashing detergent in a bowl. It is enough to use ¼ cup of each.

Step 2. Add an essential oil of your choice to the solution. Citrus, pine or floral scents will be effective. You won't need too much oil, just 10 drops will do.

Step 3. Use the mixture immediately, it should not be stored "for later" or prepared "for future use". Apply to a sponge, wipe the surface and rinse with water.

By the way, a recipe based on hydrogen peroxide and ammonia will help against rust. Mix 50 ml of peroxide and 100 ml of ammonia in a spray bottle, spray the product on the rust stains and leave for 10-15 minutes. Read about other life hacks for different types of baths in the article.
