Who doesn’t like hosting get-togethers? Having friends together, eating heavenly food and enjoying is something we all like. But if there is something that we don’t like, is cleaning a bunch of greasy and oily utensils. You can’t leave these utensils as they may toughen if you leave them for longer. A lot of us rely upon store-bought chemical cleaners to get rid of these stains but there are a lot of handy tips that we don’t know.
Here are 5 handy tips that you must know:
Use Dish Soap And Hot Water
This quick and easy tip can help you get rid of those stubborn stains. All you need to do is fill your sink or basin with hot water and add a generous amount of dish soap to the water. Now, place the oil-stained utensils in the soapy water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. With the help of a scrubber or a non-abrasive scrubbing pad, gently scrub away the oil stains and rinse the utensils thoroughly with clean water.
Use Baking Soda Paste
Baking soda is one such magical ingredient that can ease your kitchen experience in so many ways. To remove oil stains from the utensils, make a paste by mixing baking soda with water until it forms a thick consistency. Now, apply the paste to the oil-stained areas of the utensils and let it sit on the stains for around 12 to 15 minutes. Then, use a scrubbing pad or a non-abrasive scrubber to gently scrub the stains and rinse the utensils with water.
Use Vinegar Solution
After baking soda, vinegar is that go-to ingredient which can take away all your worries. To make a solution for removing oil stains from the utensils, just mix equal parts of white vinegar and water in a container. Now, submerge the oil-stained utensils in the vinegar solution for about 30 minutes. Remove the utensils and scrub the stains with a non-abrasive scrubbing pad and rinse the utensils with clean water.
Use Lemon Juice And Salt
Lemon juice is a versatile solution, isn’t it? Did you know that it can remove oil stains from utensils too? All you need to do is just squeeze fresh lemon juice onto the oil-stained areas of the utensils. Sprinkle a little salt over the lemon juice and let the mixture stay. Using a scrubbing pad, gently scrub the stains and rinse the utensils with water and dry them.
Use Boiling Water
Yes, this basic hack could be a game-changer. If your utensils are heat-resistant, you can try pouring boiling water over the oil-stained areas. The heat can help loosen the oil while making it easier to clean.
