If you open a cutlery drawer and find a piece of chalk there, don't be surprised. Only experienced housewives, who always keep everything in order in the kitchen, do this.
A piece of chalk can save time even for dishwasher owners.
Why do spoons darken?
Don't think that stainless steel forks, spoons and knives always remain shiny.
Over time, even expensive cutlery becomes covered with a dark coating.
The reason for this is not only the quality of the material or household chemicals.
Some things depend on the quality of the water and the storage conditions.
If you put the cutlery in the drawers while it is wet, not only will a dark coating appear, but rust may also appear over time.
Poor ventilation in the boxes does not improve storage conditions.
What to do
After cleaning your cutlery, or opening a new set, be sure to put a piece of regular chalk in the kitchen drawer.
The material is absolutely harmless to health and has no smell, it will actively absorb excess moisture, even if you are used to storing your cutlery wet.
All that remains is to periodically replace the used pieces of chalk with new ones.
This is the cheapest and easiest way to save time on cleaning cutlery, wiping it after washing, and also an opportunity to save money on purchasing cleaning products.
