- For baked-on food: Fill your pan with warm water and add a dryer sheet (or two). Let it soak for an hour. After soaking, you’ll notice that the food particles come off easily with just a little scrub.
5. Toothpaste for Polishing
You can also use toothpaste to polish metal items like stainless steel utensils, appliances, and even tarnished silver. Its mildly abrasive nature helps buff away grime and bring back a shine.
- For polishing metal: Apply a small amount of toothpaste to a cloth or sponge and gently rub over your metal items. Rinse thoroughly, and you’ll be amazed at how much they shine!
🏅 The Bonus Tip: Preventing Grime Buildup
Once you’ve successfully cleaned your kitchen items, you’ll want to keep them looking fresh for as long as possible. Here are some tips to prevent grime buildup in the future:
- Clean immediately after use: The longer food sits on kitchen items, the harder it becomes to clean. Try to wash your items right after cooking, before the food residue hardens.
- Use non-stick cookware: Non-stick pans and baking trays make it easier to avoid food sticking and burning, which can reduce the amount of scrubbing you need to do later.
- Store items properly: Keep your kitchen organized and store items in a clean, dry place to prevent unnecessary dirt buildup.
- Regular maintenance: Clean your kitchen appliances and utensils on a regular basis to prevent grease and stains from building up over time.
