Housewives are not always able to wash the dishes right away. The procedure is often postponed "for later".

Now let's imagine a situation: there are no more clean dishes, instead there is a mountain of dirty plates, and there is no detergent.

It would seem that there is only one way out: urgently run to the store for a new dishwashing detergent.

But don't rush! You can restore cleanliness to your plates without special gels and powders.

You can wash dishes with simple table salt. You will also need citrus juice.

An alternative way to wash dishes

Pour water over dirty plates. Dishes with numerous drops of water on them should be sprinkled with salt.

In addition, the products should be sprinkled with lemon juice.

The plates should be left in this state for a few minutes.

After this, all that remains is to wipe the dishes with a clean sponge under running water.

The result of the procedure will be the removal of visible stains and plaque. The plates will look clean and shiny again.

The disadvantage of the procedure is the need to wait until the sodium chloride and lemon juice “work”.

In addition, cleanliness is not always ideal. Therefore, if possible, you should still use a detergent.
