How to clean moldy chopsticks

Chopsticks are the tableware that we Chinese must use for eating, so their hygiene is very important, because most diseases are caused by unhygienic tableware. Therefore, once the chopsticks are moldy, they must be thoroughly disinfected, or you can change a pair of chopsticks. However, many people do not know how to clean the moldy chopsticks. So, how to clean the moldy chopsticks?

First, how do you clean moldy chopsticks? Use the leftover water from washing rice at home to soak the moldy chopsticks in the water for 5 minutes, then scald them with hot water, sprinkle some vinegar on the chopsticks, wash them and expose them to the sun. Prepare half a pot of water in the pot, then pour in half a bowl of vinegar, then put the chopsticks in the pot and cook for 20 minutes. Because vinegar contains acetic acid, it has bactericidal and antibacterial effects, which is very good. Then after boiling the chopsticks for a few minutes, wipe off the moisture with a clean dry cloth, put them on a plate, and bake them in the microwave on medium heat for 30 seconds to prevent the chopsticks from getting moldy.

Second, if there are mold spots on the chopsticks, you can use the stainless steel, steel wool, or sandpaper you usually use to wash dishes and pots to scrub the entire wooden chopstick. This can wear away the moldy parts and prevent other parts from getting moldy. Add salt to hot water, stir the water evenly, soak the moldy wooden chopsticks for a few minutes, then take the chopsticks out of the water, lay them flat on the chopping board, cut some ginger slices, and repeatedly wipe the moldy wooden chopsticks with the ginger slices. Scrub the chopsticks for a few minutes to remove the mold stains, then rinse them with hot water and put them in the sun for a few minutes.

How to clean moldy chopsticks? If the chopsticks are moldy, it is difficult to clean them again. It is recommended not to continue using them. If the moldy wooden chopsticks are not cleaned, the mold will multiply quickly. This substance is highly carcinogenic. The chopsticks should be cleaned thoroughly. The chopstick box should be cleaned frequently, preferably with a breathable and water-tight net. The chopsticks should be taken out frequently to dry in the sun for disinfection. Do not use so many chopsticks, and take them out as small as possible. The space in the chopstick box is conducive to ventilation and will not easily cause the chopsticks to mold. Place the cleaned chopsticks in a dry, ventilated place under the sun for an hour. The various rays in the sun can effectively kill bacteria and fungi, disinfecting chopsticks. The chopsticks will dry quickly in the sun, so they will not turn yellow or moldy!
