Over time, forks, knives and spoons lose their excellent appearance.

But it is possible to restore their former shine.

First, you need to wash the utensils in the classic way.

If there is a matte coating, then they should be placed in a saucepan in which potatoes were previously boiled. The water should be hot. After 10 minutes, the forks and spoons should be rinsed again and washed in the classic way.

You can also put them in a container, but there should be foil on the bottom. Sprinkle soda on top and add hot water.

After 5-10 minutes, the instruments should be removed, rinsed and thoroughly wiped dry.

There is another simple way.

To do this, mix half a spoon of vinegar and 500 ml of water in a bowl. Leave the cutlery in this mixture for a few minutes, then rinse and dry. If you don’t have vinegar on hand, lemon juice will do, which also adds shine to knives and forks.
