Why You Should Put Chalk in the Drawer with Forks and Spoons: A Life Hack That Deserves to Be Known

30.11.2024 19:10

Most of the cutlery we use in our daily lives is made of stainless steel.

However, as practice shows, even using this material for making forks and spoons does not guarantee that they will not rust.

The reason why the devices are at risk of corrosion is the high humidity that often prevails in their storage compartment.

If you are one of those housewives who are not too lazy to wipe your kitchen utensils dry every time after washing them, there is nothing to worry about.

But if you are periodically attacked by laziness, then be prepared to soon come face to face with rust.

To avoid this, try using the chalk life hack.

It is an excellent adsorbent, so it copes with moisture absorption with flying colors.

It is enough to put a piece of chalk in a box with spoons, knives and forks to reduce the risk of corrosion to a minimum. The most common option, which is used to write on a school board, is suitable.

The main thing is to change the “protection” to a new one from time to time.

For reference

Rust is a general term for iron oxides.
