What to do to make pots always looking like new: tips

Washing dishes is a common task for every housewife, but even here there are nuances. During cooking, grease stains that are difficult to get rid of form on the pots, so most people try to clean them immediately. However, they don't even realize that this only spoils the dishes.

OBOZ.UA has found tips that will help you keep your pots in good condition. You do not need to buy special chemicals, just follow simple rules.

Cold water

The owners make a common mistake when they take the pot off the stove and immediately start washing it with cold water to lower the temperature. Of course, it is better to wash the dishes immediately after cooking to avoid stubborn dirt, but you also avoid cold water.

Rinsing a hot pot with cold water can damage the material and leave stains on the surface. Instead, rinse the container with warm or even hot water, or wait until the pan has cooled completely.

Soaking

Soak the pan after cooking with warm water for 30-40 minutes. This will soften the grease and food particles so you can easily clean everything with a sponge and dishwashing detergent. A gentle rubbing motion will remove all the dirt and keep the surface nice and shiny.

White vinegar

Vinegar is a versatile tool in the fight against stubborn dirt and pungent odors. The acidity will soften grease and restore shine to your dishes. Mix vinegar with water in a ratio of 1:6, moisten a clean sponge and gently wipe the necessary areas. Then rinse with warm water.

Wiping

Always wipe pots and pans with a clean cloth after washing them. If you leave them wet, the material may tarnish and lose its shine. Water stains will also appear, which will significantly affect the appearance of the dishes.
