Want to know how to clean a pan of old grease or clean a pot, kettle, oven grate and other kitchen utensils? To do this, you will need salt, soda, citric acid, etc. I use them successfully and am ready to tell you how to do it correctly.

Methods for cleaning grease from dishes

To launder old fat with dishes, not always enough detergent and aggressive powders and liquids can damage the surface. Cleaning dishes at home with folk methods not only effective, but also safe, because home remedies will not cause allergies and will not harm your health. So I'll tell you about best practices cleaning dishes with your own hands using home remedies.

Method 1: Soda and citric acid

Take 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda and citric acid and mix them in a bowl. Moisten the dishes to be cleaned with water, and pour the mixture into it. Soda and acid will react with water and, after a while, the fat will be taken in lumps. It will only be wiped off.

Method 2: Salt and Vinegar

To remove old fat, pour 2 tablespoons of soda into the bottom of the pan and add 2 tablespoons of 9% vinegar. The mixture should cover the bottom, so if the resulting solution is not enough, increase the amount of ingredients proportionally.

A soda-vinegar solution is suitable for dishes with thick walls and resistant coating. To clean more fragile utensils such as glass or plastic utensils, it is better not to use this method.

Method 3: Vinegar Baking Soda

You can wash dishes from old fat in a more gentle way - use a paste of soda with vinegar. These two drugs must be mixed with each other in equal proportions. The resulting mixture - treat oily areas and leave for 15-20 minutes.

A paste of baking soda and vinegar will soften the grease.

Method 4: Mustard Powder

Mustard is an excellent remedy for fat and soot, which was used decades ago. It is safe even for children and is suitable for cleaning stains of any complexity. In order to clean the pan of old fat, heat it on the stove.

Allow the utensil to cool slightly before cleaning so that it is easy to clean. Pour a little mustard powder on top (on average, 1-2 tablespoons are enough). Then wipe the surface with a slightly damp sponge and leave the mustard mixture in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Grease stains will soften and will be easier to move away from the surface when cleaning.

The resulting paste will play the role of a cleanser. Using a brush or sponge, carefully clean the surface of the dish, then rinse it cold water. This method will help clean pans and pots, as well as wash glassware for the oven.

There is another way to wash greasy dishes using mustard powder. To do this, we need a large basin to fit the dishes. Take water in a basin and dissolve 1-3 tablespoons of mustard there, dip the dishes in the solution and leave for 30-40 minutes. Then the dishes should be washed in the usual way.

Before soaking dishes in a mustard solution, they should be thoroughly washed. You can even use a metal sponge if the surface allows. So the fat will dissolve faster.

Cleaning the barbecue grill

If you don't know how to clean a barbecue grill without using household chemicals, try some simple home methods:

1. Coca Cola. Feel free to pour this carbonated drink onto the grate. After a few minutes, the surface must be thoroughly wiped. Grease will be washed off easily and quickly.

1. Liquid soap. Lubricate the grate with liquid soap, wrap it in a bag or cling film and leave it overnight. The next day, wash the product with a washcloth or brush. A brilliant result is guaranteed to you.

1. Soaking in hot water. If the layer of fat is not very old, you can simply soak the grate overnight in a basin or sink filled with hot water. After that, the fat from the dishes is rubbed off with the hard side of the washcloth.

Getting rid of fat on the kettle

Grease often gets on the kettle when cooking on the stove. It is not always possible to wash stains with ordinary detergent. I know several folk methods. So, how to wash the kettle from fat:

1. Baking soda. Wet the kettle, and pour a little baking soda on a damp sponge. Walk the hard side over the surface of the dish, and grease stains can be easily removed.

1. Toothpaste. If the spots are not very dry, you can use a milder product. Toothpaste will help clean the surface to a shine.

1. A mixture of baking soda, salt and vinegar. If the stains, on the contrary, are very old, you can try a more powerful solution. In equal proportions, mix salt, soda and vinegar 9%. Use this mixture and a sponge to clean the entire surface of the teapot.

Safety regulations

Despite the fact that all recipes are homemade from safe ingredients, there are some rules to be aware of. Take note of these tips:

1. Airing. If you heat dishes with a prepared cleaning mixture on the stove, it is better to open the windows in the kitchen.

1. Hand protection. Any procedures should be carried out with rubber gloves. Even safe home remedies such as mustard powder, salt, and citric acid can harm the skin of the hands, and concentrated vinegar solution often leaves redness and flaking on the hands.

1. New sponge. For best result I recommend using a new sponge. And after cleaning the dishes, it is better to throw them away.

Conclusion

I talked about the most effective ways cleansing kitchen utensils, which I personally used - the result exceeded expectations. You will have to try one of them. You can write your secrets on how to wash dishes from fat in the comments. And additional instructions are posted in the video in this article.

Despite the fact that plastic is considered a material that is quite unpretentious in everyday life, you should not use products containing coarse abrasive particles or alkaline substances, as well as hard sponges, washcloths and metal “brushes” during cleaning.

These devices will only scratch the plastic surface, spoil appearance products and give freedom of action to bacteria that will begin to accumulate in grooves and microcracks.

How to wash plastic dishes

In order to wash plastic dishes, you will need warm water, regular dishwashing detergent or liquid soap. Remember, not all plastic is resistant to boiling water: if the water temperature exceeds 60-70 ° C, plates, bowls and containers are more likely to develop a “mesh” of cracks.

Products made of heat-resistant plastic can be sent to dishwasher, but only if a special icon on the bottom of the vessel informs about this possibility.

Dishwasher safe icon on plastic utensils

Remove dried food from the plastic as follows: soak the dishes in warm water by adding a couple of drops of detergent. Half an hour is enough for the remnants of the food to “move away”.

Most of all, housewives are not confused by fat (it is just washed off the walls of plastic dishes without problems), but bad smell, which is embedded in the surface. Try to get rid of the smell by one of the following methods:

1. Pour 1 cup of warm water and ¼ cup of 9% table vinegar, a couple of drops of dishwashing detergent into the container. Close the container with a lid, shake vigorously for a minute, leave for an hour. Next, drain the water and rinse the dishes with cold water.
2. Baking soda has a similar effect. Dilute the soda warm water to the state of a paste, treat the walls of a bowl, plate or ladle with the resulting composition. Leave overnight and wash off with cold water in the morning.
3. Good absorbents are coffee beans, woody or Activated carbon. Put 5-6 grains or "charcoal" tablets in a container, leave under a tightly closed lid for two hours until the smell passes into an absorbent.
4. Rub the inside of the container with lemon juice (or just lemon peel), leave to ventilate for two to three hours. At the end of the procedure, rinse the dishes with water.
5. Vanillin will also help (do not confuse with vanilla sugar). It is enough to fill the vessel with water and add one or two pinches of fragrant powder there, tightly “cork”. Rinse the container after two to three hours.

How to wash a plastic barrel (tank or canister) from dirt and mold

Washing a plastic drinking canister or tank is a laborious task, but among home remedies there are “helpers” who can even cope with such challenging task. All methods combine the action of cleaning, disinfecting agents and mechanical cleaning.

Technology: pour one of the products suggested below into a tank or barrel, close the lid and shake well (twist or roll). The smallest particles will polish the container from the inside, and active substances destroy accumulated bacteria.

To make the process more efficient, fill the barrel not completely, but about a quarter. Do not forget to rinse the container with cool water after cleaning and dry it naturally.

Cleaners:

• Baking soda is a mild abrasive that also effectively fights microorganisms. 2 teaspoons of powder are enough for 1 liter of water.
• As an alternative to soda, use clean (calcined) sand, sawdust, coffee grounds, millet (based on 200-300 grams per 10 liters of water). For a stronger effect, add a few drops of dishwashing liquid.
• Saturated (bright pink) solution of potassium permanganate not only disinfects the surface, but also removes a pronounced "marsh" smell.

It is necessary to clean tanks, barrels, canisters from accumulated dirt, sediment and mold (greenery) at least once every 2-3 months.

Cleaning a plastic kettle from scale and dirt

Table 9% vinegar (1 tablespoon per 1 liter of water), citric acid (1 teaspoon per 1 liter of water), potato or apple peels(a couple of medium potatoes or small apples are enough for 1 liter of water).

Method: pour water into the kettle, add the "active" agent, bring to a boil, and then let it brew for 30-60 minutes. Pour the composition, walk on inner surface teapot with a clean, soft sponge and rinse thoroughly with cold water.

Cleaning other plastic products and furniture

Plastic combs require not only constant cleaning, but also disinfection. Citric acid will quite cope with these tasks, ammonia or table 9% vinegar.

Prepare a soap solution, add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of funds (per 1 liter). Soak the comb for an hour, and then wash with plain water. It will destroy bacteria and a weak solution of potassium permanganate: hold the comb in it for an hour.

To wash plastic items like children's toys (cubes, cars), soak them in a solution of laundry soap. Use pre-soaking (for half an hour) and an old toothbrush - dirt in small recesses and joints will disappear without a trace. Once the procedure is completed, rinse the toys under running water and leave to dry naturally.

In this way, you can clean and plastic furniture. But instead of soaking, thoroughly wipe the contaminated surface with a sponge dipped in soapy water, then rinse with water and dry with a clean rag.

mechanical cleaning

You can deal with the problem mechanically, using a knife, a metal or hard synthetic scraper and hot water. The same dishwashing liquid or cleaning abrasive powders will help speed up the process.

dishes without plastic or wooden parts can be pre-heated in the oven at a temperature of 200-250 degrees or open fire. When the fat deposits are burned, all that remains is to clean the surface of their remnants (of course, after complete cooling).

the most radical and fast way, wash dishes from old fat, which has already turned into a multi-layer soot - cleaning with a drill or grinder with a special wire brush nozzle. True, this method is effective only for "grandmother's" pans and pots made of thick-walled cast iron - modern thin and light dishes are too easy to damage. But no chemistry!

Important! Frying pans with a ceramic or Teflon coating can only be cleaned with an abrasive method from the outside so as not to damage the non-stick layer. But aluminum cookware does not like mechanical intervention at all, except for incandescence.

Chemicals

In any household chemicals store there is a whole arsenal of special tools with which you can easily solve the problem of how to wash the pan from fat at home, for example, Shumanit, Master Cleaner, Dr. Beckmann.

Not all surfaces can be cleaned with aggressive chemicals or mechanical action (the most capricious are ceramic and Teflon). But there are also more gentle means that you can cook yourself. In addition, the ingredients for most of them can be found at home, which means you can save money.

Laundry soap

One of the best and time-tested ways to clean a pan of grease with inside, went to modern housewives as a legacy from Soviet times. To prepare such home remedy You will need 72% laundry soap and water.

3. After boiling the soap solution, make a small fire and leave for 25-30 minutes.
4. Then turn off the heating, cover the dishes with a lid and let cool.
5. Drain the cold solution and wash the walls of the pan under hot water using a regular sponge.

How to clean a pan with laundry soap

The same laundry soap can also be used to remove multi-layer soot from the sooty sides on the outside of the dishes. To enhance the anti-grease effect, in addition to a bar of soap, you will also need a tube of silicate glue and soda ash. All ingredients are dissolved in hot water. The main thing is to choose a container that will fit the entire pan or pan.

Then cover the pan with a soaking pan with a lid and let it stand for 1-2 hours so that the soot is thoroughly softened. After such a “bath”, it is easily removed with the hard side of a washcloth or a blunt knife.

Note! This tool can be used for Teflon and ceramic dishes - it does not damage the coating. But do not forget to turn on the hood and open the window when working - solutions based on laundry soap have a very unpleasant smell.

Vinegar and citric acid

With the help of these tools, you can not only clean the pan or pan from fat, but also remove the yellowed coating from plastic containers. You will need a liter of water and a small container. After boiling, half a glass of table vinegar and a tablespoon of citric acid are added to the water. Soak greasy dishes in a hot solution and soak for 45-60 minutes. After that, even old fat can be easily scraped off with a hard washcloth.
Places where the fat is strongly eaten can be sprinkled with soda and poured with vinegar. As a result of the reaction, foam is formed, which will help remove carbon deposits.

Vinegar effectively fights fatty plaque

Note! This product must not be used on aluminum cookware, and on Teflon and ceramic - only for cleaning the outer walls (if they are uncoated).

soda and salt

It is enough just to fill the walls moistened with water with powder and gently wipe with a soft sponge without pressing. And after a couple of minutes, when the granules dissolve, wash in the usual way.

On a note! Salt will not cope with complex layers, but soda can do it. Only you need to use not the usual food, which works more like an abrasive, but calcined. It is dissolved in warm water, where dirty dishes are soaked for a couple of hours.

How to restore dishes after cleaning

Many probably noticed that products stick to pans thoroughly washed from fat at the first frying. The reason is that when cleaning, the layer of oily film that protects against burning is also washed off. Therefore, before delighting households with culinary masterpieces cooked on updated dishes, this protection should be restored.

Offer 2 simple ways to choose from:

• Pour coarse salt into the bottom of the pan and simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then remove the granules (they can be reused). Wait for the dishes to cool, rinse and put on fire again, but without filler. When the pan is hot, grease the bottom vegetable oil with a silicone brush and leave to cool. For a better non-stick effect, it is recommended to repeat the procedure three times, removing the previous oil layer with paper towels and heating the dishes again.

Cleaning the pan with salt

• To restore cast iron and steel pans without wooden handles and other flammable elements, you can use the oven. To do this, the dishes, already cleaned of soot, are heated for 40 minutes at a temperature of 120 degrees.

After an hour, the pan is taken out, cooled and again greased with oil.
