Cleaning cutlery may seem like a simple task, but even the best cutlery loses its luster over time, forming an unpleasant plaque.
Before you consider replacing them, try these simple and effective methods to restore them to their original shine.
Effective methods of cleaning cutlery:
Boiling with citric acid, baking soda, and salt: For a deep clean, this method works wonders. Add a few tablespoons of each ingredient to a pot of water, bring to a boil and submerge the cutlery. In 30 minutes, your cutlery will shine like new.
Baking Soda Paste: For lighter stains, make a paste by mixing baking soda with a little water. Apply it to the cutlery, leave it for a few minutes and then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Soaking in vinegar: it is good for dissolving mineral deposits. Soak cutlery in a 1:1 solution of water and vinegar for 30 minutes, then rinse.
Also, fresh lemon juice not only cleanses, but also leaves a pleasant aroma. Rub cutlery with half a lemon, then rinse thoroughly.
Prevention of tarnishing and plaque:
Choose dishwashing liquids designed for stainless steel to maintain the shine.
Moisture promotes the formation of stains and the growth of bacteria, so wipe the cutlery dry immediately after washing.
Do not leave cutlery in the sink. Wash and dry them quickly.
Also, frequent cleaning prevents heavy coating and helps preserve the shine for many years.
