Brilio.net - Bringing food when going out is a good way to maintain food quality and save money. Various menus can be used as provisions, such as fried, grilled, or pepes foods, which are stored in lunch boxes so they are safe to carry. However, lunch boxes are often difficult to clean after use, especially if they store fried foods.
Cooking oil tends to stick to the inside of the box, making it slippery even after washing it with soap. This condition certainly makes you hesitate to store food in it. If you experience this problem, don't worry. There is a powerful way to clean the lunch box from dirt that sticks, so that it is dry and clean again.
This method was shared by TikTok user @vendab. In one of her videos, this woman shows how to wash lunch boxes so that they are maximally clean and dry again.
As reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @vendab on Monday (11/25), used lunch boxes not only look dirty, but also have an unpleasant odor when the lid is opened. This was also felt by the account owner.

To clean it, sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda into the lunch box, both inside and on the lid. Spread it out with your hands so that the baking soda can reach all parts of the lunch box.

Once done, add a little dish soap and then scrub the entire lunch box with a sponge. As a result, all the remaining oil and dirt stains will disappear instantly.
"Not only is the oil gone, the smell in the lunch box is no longer there," he said.
