True, in an unconventional way. To the rescue will come… foil.

Balls made from this metallic paper must be thrown into a container of boiling water.

The result will be a liquid that will help completely remove the “indelible” plaque.

How to Clean Spoons and Forks with Foil

Take a large saucepan and pour water into it.

Add baking soda, table salt and granulated sugar to the liquid (1 tbsp each).

Mix the contents of the container well, place the container on the stove and turn on the burner.

While the liquid is coming to a boil, make several balls out of the foil.

As soon as the water starts to boil, throw the resulting circles into the pan.

After 5 minutes, place the tarnished spoons and forks into the container.

Cutlery should be kept in boiling water for 20 minutes.

The result of such treatment will be the complete removal of plaque: spoons and forks will again become perfectly clean and shiny.
