CLEANING
Come and follow homefavour as we learn this tried-and-true method using simple household ingredients to remove water stains, dryness from food and other debris and let your stainless steel cutlery shine! This time I will introduce you how to clean stainless steel flatware set . |
Easily Clean Water Spots from Utensils
I've been putting this chore off （clean flatware set）because It takes a lot of timewell, I guess just because I'm lazy!But recently learned a way to clean stainless steel flatware， It's always much simpler than I think it's going to be, and only takes about 15 minutes to sparkling clean utensils! Plus, if you have a Science geek in the house, they'll definitely enjoy watching the process!
Household Supplies
Rather than buying expensive (and likely toxic) products to clean my stainless steel flatware set and silver utensils, I find these household giants do the job just as well, maybe even better!
tin foil
baking soda
white vinegar
boiling water
That is all you need! Now let me show you a little before flatware set picture of my water-spotted, grimy looking utensils...do yours look like this?
We have stubborn peanut butter still on our utensils when they are in the dishwasher I'm left with dirty-looking stains, dried on food, and even a few rusty spots.
How to Clean Utensils
The first thing to do is fill a kettle with water and start it boiling. If you don't have a kettle, fill a large pot with water on the stovetop.
Lay a sheet of tin foil, shiny side up, in your sink.
I usually do all of one kind of flatware set at a time (ie: all my teaspoons), so spread them out on the tin foil, front side up. It's okay if it's a little crowded, but try to have them in a single layer.
Harness the Power of Baking Soda and Vinegar!
Next, generously sprinkle baking soda over the utensils, making sure to coat any dirty spots. Then pour about 1/4 cup of white vinegar over the top and watch it foam as it removes all that grime.
Once the foaming stops, pour about a cup of boiling water over the top(flatware set). This seems to reactivate the baking powder and vinegar cleaning action and gives an additional boost to the job! |
If the flatware set are really dirty, you need to soak them in this cleaning solution after a few minutes. I also like to hand wash these flatware set with dish soap and a mild scrubber. Rinse well and let dry. This will keep the flatware set feeling clean I leave the piece of tin foil, and any cleaning leftovers, in the sink and just keeping adding a new batch of flatware set. You can see that there will be dirt in the tin foil, if the cleaning supplies are not enough, you can add more I find that our utensils often get put away wet, or damp, and our hard water loves to create stains on the stainless! Only when the cleaned utensils are completely dry do they get returned to the caddy. It feels SO good to spend 15 minutes on this cleaning chore and be rewarded with clean and sparkly utensils in a clean caddy! |
Before and After I took before and after photos of the same knives, just so you can really see the comparison! First the dirty... |
Can you see the difference? WOW right?!
If your stainless steel flatware set still have some rusty-looking spots after following this cleaning method, you may want to use a piece of steel wool to help with the job. Use more abrasive force to clean dishes, but be careful that too much force will scratch the surface of your stainless steel flatware. All I have to do is do this every year or even every other year. This method does a really good job in between!
I hope you found this cleaning tutorial helpful! Please let me know if you have any questions...I'm certainly no cleaning expert but maybe I'll be able to help!
