How to clean stainless steel tableware most cleanly

Stainless steel tableware can be said to be a good choice for many restaurants and families. Stainless steel has the advantages of not being easy to rust and looks very high-end. When stainless steel tableware is used for a long time, it will gradually lose its initial gloss and develop rust spots. If it is not properly maintained, the degree of rust will be further aggravated. It would be a pity to throw it away at this time, but if you continue to use it, you will have to face the trouble of cleaning it. We need to use some skills and methods when cleaning and maintaining stainless steel tableware.

1. Wrong way to clean stainless steel tableware

Use steel wool

If you use a steel wool to rub it, it will create a lot of scratches, which will destroy the protective layer on the surface of the stainless steel, making the stainless steel easily corroded and rusted.

2. The correct way to clean stainless steel tableware

Tools: dishwashing liquid, expired or leftover ketchup, a glass of water, an empty cup, a bottle cap, and a small brush.

Squeeze a capful of dishwashing liquid and pour the contents into an empty cup. Pour 2 bottle caps of ketchup, and then pour the ketchup in the bottle cap into the cup containing dishwashing liquid. Then scoop 3 bottle caps of clean water into the cup.

Stir the prepared detergent in the cup evenly, then apply it on the tableware, brush the dull areas with a small brush, and soak for 10 minutes. Finally, rinse with clean water.

3. Why can ketchup detergent be easily cleaned?

The acetic acid in tomato sauce will react chemically with the metal, making the stainless steel pot shiny as new. This method also works on very dirty and black kitchen utensils!

4. Precautions for cleaning stainless steel tableware

1. Vegetable oil: Before using stainless steel tableware, you can apply a thin layer of vegetable oil on the surface and then dry it. This will facilitate the cleaning of the tableware and extend its use time.

2. Wipe dry: When washing stainless steel tableware, wipe off any water marks on the surface. When used on a coal briquette stove, the sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide produced will produce sulfurous acid and sulfuric acid after meeting water, which will affect the length of use.

3. Soaking: Do not soak stainless steel tableware in water for a long time, otherwise the surface of the tableware will become dull and lack luster. Stainless steel transfers heat quickly, so do not use high heat after putting oil in a stainless steel pot.

4. White vinegar: Stainless steel tableware will show brown rust after being used for a long time. It is a substance formed by the long-term coagulation of minerals in the water. Pour a small amount of white vinegar into the stainless steel pot, shake it well, then boil it over low heat, the rust will be gone, then wash it with detergent

5. Warm water: Use warm water to wash dishes to avoid reactions with residual substances on the dishes and destroying the gloss of the dishes. You can also wipe the dishes with dried radish tops, which is very effective.
