Dishwashing gel can run out at the most inopportune moment.

It would seem that there is only one way out: run to the store for a new package of the product.

However, a trip to the supermarket can be postponed until the next day. The main thing is that the hostess has access to "pasta" water.

The liquid left in the pan after the pasta has finished cooking will help restore the cleanliness of the pan.

How to Use Pasta Water to Wash Dishes

It's very simple: just pour this valuable liquid over dirty plates, bowls, pans and pots.

"Pasta" water has one very interesting property: it is a source of starch.

But it is this substance that easily copes with various types of dirt, including greasy stains.

After 10-15 minutes after the dishes have been filled with pasta broth, the liquid can be drained.

After this, all that remains is to rinse the plates and pans with plain water and wipe them with a clean sponge.

If you follow all the above procedures, the dishes will become perfectly clean even without special products.
