All cooks know how difficult it can be to clean a fine grater from vegetable residue.
Here you can ruin not only your manicure, but also your nerves. We will tell you how to avoid unpleasant consequences and stop complicating your already difficult life.
When cleaning with a fine grater, damaging your skin or nails is a piece of cake.
Sponges and rags are absolutely useless accessories in this regard. Here are 4 simple life hacks.
1. Water and lemon juice
Find a container of a suitable size in which to soak the grater. Then fill it with the required amount of warm water and add lemon juice or citric acid. After 15-20 minutes, all that remains is to rinse the grater with detergent and even dried vegetables will float away into the sewer.
2. Soda and peroxide
If you forgot to wash the grater and the vegetables are hopelessly dried out, you first need to wet the surface with water and then sprinkle it with soda. Then spray the grater with hydrogen peroxide and leave it for 10 minutes. After that, cleaning the tool will not be difficult.
3. Potatoes
Take a potato tuber and rub it on the dirty grater, but do not rinse. Leave it as is, and the potato juice will do all the work for you.
4. Boiling
In extreme cases, the grater can be placed in a pot of boiling water and boiled for 10 minutes. After that, the tool is left in hot water until it cools completely, and then the vegetable remains are washed off with warm water and detergent.
