Napkins are one of the most frequently used kitchen tools to wipe hands, clean surfaces, or dry other kitchen utensils. However, with intensive use, napkins can quickly become dirty and oily. Oil spills, food residue, and other liquids can stick to the fabric fibers, making the napkin look dull and feel sticky.
Dirty and oily napkins can reduce the cleanliness of the kitchen and become a breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, cleaning napkins regularly with the right method is important to ensure the cleanliness and health of the kitchen. One method that many people often do is to boil napkins in a pan filled with detergent water.
This method is considered effective in removing stains more effectively. Unfortunately, it also has other impacts. The pot used to boil the napkins will usually smell. This makes it unsuitable for use in cooking or processing various other food ingredients because it is no longer sterile.
Instead, you can imitate the trick shared by Instagram user @oldkitchen.shopp in washing napkins. Reported by BrilioFood on Tuesday (8/20), he admitted to only using simple tools to wash napkins, such as a basin. On the other hand, the cleaning materials used to wash napkins are toothpaste, baking soda, dish soap, and vinegar.
But for maximum results, you can rub it again to make it even cleaner. If necessary, you can also scrub it using a cloth brush to remove stubborn stains. After that, rinse under running water and dry the napkin until dry. That way, the napkin becomes cleaner and dry and ready to be reused.
