How to remove plaque from forks between your teeth

click fraud protection

New year is ahead. I congratulate all my readers in advance! Well, I would also like to share useful advice on how to cope with an urgent problem that accompanies any festive feast. Plaque that forms on the ribs between the teeth, which can not be washed off in the usual way after a long feast.

Yes Yes! I am often a guest I see this picture even in very decent clean housewives. It's just that these ribs, especially if the vision is poor, are not particularly noticeable. But I always see a dark coating on them, and this spoils my appetite. Sometimes it is so disgusting that even when they treat me to eat with a fork, I ask you to give me a spoon.

If someone tells me that only sloppy housewives can have it, then I don't think so. Forks from the table for New Year's Eve or for hours spent at the table during the holiday, no one removes to wash every 15-20 minutes. The devices lie quietly near the plates and from time to time each uses his own fork for different dishes. And when food freezes on the ribs, plaque is inevitable.

It is impossible to wash off plaque from them in the usual way, as we wash spoons.

I want to share two ways to launder such hard-to-reach places of appliances that will return the shine to your forks from all sides.

First way.

In a saucepan or other container that is more convenient for you, you need to boil water with salt and soda. As you bring to a boil, put forks in this container, you can also spoons. Boil half an hour and, after removing it from the stove, leave to cool. Then wash as usual. How best to clean between the teeth with a regular sponge is explained in detail below.

This first method, although really effective, I like less than the second. Not every metal can be boiled with salt. Some species darken. And some forks are also not initially completely made of metal, but have plastic handles or even wooden. Therefore, I like the next option more.

Second way.

First, pour hot water into a basin and dissolve washing powder in it. Once I used laundry soap and soda instead of powder. But the washing powder replaced both ingredients, and I do not want extra labor for grinding the bar soap. And you decide for yourself what to use. Yes, I even tried to bleach antique forks in the country in the same way, adding powder bleach in additional water.

As the washing powder dissolves, I soak the forks in the basin. If the handles of the forks are plastic or wooden, then I wrap the handles in advance with foil and water with dissolved I pour the powder into a shallow container as much as is needed so that only the open parts are covered without foil. After all, in fact, we only need to clean the edges of the teeth in this way.

I close the container so that the solution does not cool longer. As soon as the water became barely warm, I began to peel off the teeth. For this I take either an ordinary dishwashing sponge, always with a hard side, or a metal sponge or a carbon brush, for example. If the plaque is old, then it is better to immediately use a metal one. Simply with a fork we pierce the metal sponge many times. The edges between the teeth are brushed off very well with metal fibers. Then you can rinse in the same solution and in the same way poke into a regular dishwashing sponge from the hard surface. This will cleanse the remaining plaque and even polish to some extent. My country forks, which remained from the previous owners of the house, became shiny as new.

How do you deal with this problem?
