Brilio.net - Stainless steel cutlery, such as spoons, forks, knives, chopsticks, and bowls, are widely used in the kitchen. This material is chosen because it is durable and not easily damaged when in contact with hot food.
Although durable, stainless steel furniture requires special care to keep it shiny. Many people have difficulty cleaning this equipment because it often still has spots even after washing. It is important to understand that these spots are not always dirt, but rather mineral residue from dried water.
There are two types of stains on stainless steel appliances. First, stains from food and drink residue that can generally be cleaned with soap and water. Second, water spots that are difficult to remove with just regular washing. This second type of stain is often frustrating because it is not easy to clean, thus reducing the shine of stainless steel appliances.
Usually, people have to use certain cleaning agents to soak stainless steel cutlery to make it shiny again. For example, you can use vinegar, baking soda, citric acid, and many more. However, it is different with a netizen named Vindy Lee. Through a personal TikTok upload @vindyleetiktok she has a trick to clean stainless steel cutlery that is simpler.
Vindy admitted that she got the knowledge to clean stainless steel cutlery while working as a waiter in a restaurant in the United States. Restaurants are indeed identical with cutlery that must be really shiny when used by customers, right?
"We were taught that all food equipment must be super perfect," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @vindyleetiktok on Friday (27/9).
First, make sure all the cutlery that you want to clean has been washed with soap and water, then dried first. Now, to remove stains or stains to make them shiny, the only ingredient needed is white vinegar. Dip a paper towel in vinegar, then wipe the cutlery several times until it is completely clean.

Once clean, immediately dry the cutlery using a dry and clean cloth. Vindy Lee explained that cutlery should be dried immediately so that the vinegar aroma does not stick. The result is guaranteed to be shiny cutlery like new. Reported from kitchenclickdirect.co.uk, vinegar contains a little acid which is proven to be effective in removing water stains or even stubborn stains.
