Would you like to know how to remove old grease from a frying pan, or how to clean a pot, kettle, oven rack and other kitchen utensils? This will require salt, soda, citric acid, etc. I use them successfully and am ready to tell you how to do it correctly.

Methods for cleaning fat from dishes

Detergent is not always enough to wash old grease from dishes, and aggressive powders and liquids can damage the surface. Cleaning dishes at home using folk methods is not only effective, but also safe, because home remedies will not cause allergies or harm your health. So I will tell you about best practices do it yourself cleaning dishes 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 add the mixture. Soda and acid will react with water and, after a while, the fat will be taken up in lumps. All that remains is to wipe it off.

Method 2: Salt with vinegar

To delete old fat, add 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 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.

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

Method 3: baking soda with vinegar

You can wash the dishes from old fat in a more gentle way - use a paste of soda and vinegar. These two products must be mixed together in equal proportions. The resulting mixture is to process oily areas and leave for 15-20 minutes.

The baking soda and vinegar paste will loosen the fat.

Method 4: mustard powder

Mustard is an excellent remedy for grease and varnish that has been used decades ago. It is safe even for children and is suitable for cleaning stains of any complexity. To clean the old fat from the pan, heat it on the stove.

Allow the utensils to cool slightly before cleaning for easy cleaning. Pour some 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 skillet for 15-20 minutes. Grease stains will soften and will easily come off the surface when cleaning.

The resulting paste will act as a cleanser. Using a brush or sponge, thoroughly clean the surface of the dishes, then rinse it cold water... This method will help you clean your pans and pots, as well as clean the glassware for the oven.

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

Before soaking dishes in mustard solution, wash them thoroughly. You can even use a metal sponge, if the surface permits. This will dissolve the fat faster.

Means for boiling dishes from the store: list

Faery detergent

Now the store has big choice innovative cleaning products. If you do not want to mess with "grandmother's" recipes: boil for a single day and wait a long time until the dishes are cleaned, then buy products in the store that are designed to clean soot and stubborn fat deposits.

Store products are not intended for boiling dishes, they can only wash them. But for efficiency, many housewives simply dissolve the product in boiling water and therefore immerse pots in this solution for 15-20 minutes. If the dirt is very ingrained and old, then you can leave the dishes in the solution overnight.

Here is the list really effective means for cleaning dishes from the store, with which you can make a solution and soak the dishes for a long time in boiling water:

• Faerie
• Gala
• Silite gel

• Calgonit Finish Gel

It is enough to dissolve just a few drops of these products in water at a temperature of 90 degrees or more to get rid of the old fatty deposits on the pots. But remember, if you work with store products, then you need to follow safety precautions:

• Rinse the garments thoroughly after cleaning... Many cleaners, especially gels, are difficult to rinse off.
• Only work with gloves to protect your hands from allergies.
• Provide air flow- during cleaning, a window must be constantly open in the kitchen, at least for ventilation.
• Wear a respirator... If you have one, wear such protection when using a chemical cleaner. This will help keep harmful vapors out of the respiratory system.

Sometimes soot is so persistent on dishes that even boiling with ordinary detergents is powerless. Then housewives use aggressive products that are sometimes not intended for cleaning dishes. When using such "nuclear" means, you need to protect yourself by wearing a face shield and gloves. There are mainly two store-bought products used to remove stubborn dirt:

• "Shumanit" is a grease remover cream. Its action is quick, and it can dissolve even perennial soot on a surface. Just a few minutes is enough, and the product will perfectly cope with dirt, the dishes will become impeccably clean. But remember about the high toxicity of this agent, so work with gloves and a respirator.
• Sewer pipe cleaning gel. Such funds are considered aggressive, but very effective. They should be stored in a place protected from children. Any plaque will be removed by soaking the dishes in a solution of 0.5 liters of this product and 5 liters of water. It is necessary to keep the products in the solution for as long as the dirt itself begins to come off the surface.

Important: Be careful with non-stick cookware. Even a single scratch can ruin a pot or pan and render it unusable.

For such dishes, it is better to use not store-bought cleaning products, but folk methods of dealing with carbon deposits, which allow you to remove dirt without effort.

If you need to remove stubborn carbon deposits from the surface of the dishes without applying much effort, there is one recipe proven by many housewives.

Now do this:

• Grate one bar of brown laundry soap on a coarse grater. White soap will not work, only bars that were previously sold in Soviet time- real brown soap, with a pungent smell.
• Now pour water into a 30-liter tank and put it on gas.
• When the water warms up, add the grated soap and stir. Add baking soda and glue at the same time. Stir the solution constantly to dissolve the soap and baking soda.
• When the solution boils, put the dishes in it. If the dirt is not stubborn, then you will immediately see how it starts to come off. Black or brown bloom needs to be boiled for 15-30 minutes, and then leave the dishes in this solution for several hours until they cool.

What is it for

Boiling has been considered a great way to cleanse and disinfect household items since ancient times. In the case of cookware, these principles are also adhered to. On the forums you can find the most various means for cleaning. But those who have learned how to boil dishes in soda and have tried it at least once never change this method again. Its only drawback is its duration. The advertised funds begin their action much earlier.

Boiling will get rid of the following problems:

• old congealed fat;
• soot;
• carbon deposits;
• removes stubborn odors from wood cutting boards and other items;
• scale;
• pathogenic bacteria and microbes.

Boiling will help preserve even the dishes in which the food is badly burnt. Now you do not need to immediately throw out the inventory. You can try to boil it and return it to its normal appearance. You can safely apply the method in relation to enameled dishes. The enamel does not deteriorate, does not peel off. If you are still worried, then just before using the enamelware, pierce it. And then, chips will begin to appear much later.

In addition, by determining how to boil the dishes, you can get the following result:

• shine of products;
• purity;
• the products really look like new ones, because there are no traces of cooking at all;
• no allergies. Those who suffer from allergy attacks know exactly how the use of conventional detergents can end up. And boiling is completely safe.

Preparation of components for boiling

When choosing drugs with which to boil dishes, you should choose the most effective complex of three components:

1. Soda ash. It is actively used in glass making, the production of synthetic detergents, and also in soap making. The main properties of this composition include: water softening, metal degreasing, desulfatization.
