Having thoughts of a major house deep cleaning and direction is pointing towards your beloved kitchen area, more specifically on your silverware? We got these tips for you! Sure, you throw them in the dishwasher after every meal or wipe every now and then during a routine house cleaning using top-notch dishwashing detergent. But have you ever stopped to wonder if it’s as clean as it seems?
Silverware tends to lose its shine and spark. Sure by now, you’d notice a dull, foggy layer forming which is inevitable due to hard water deposits. Most of the time, their being tarnished is overlooked by us. But just by giving your flatware a deep cleaning every few months, will make a huge difference.
Here’s how to do it:
Boil Water. First, you’ll start by filling a big ol’ pot with water and pop it on the stove to heat to boiling.
Line The Sink. While you’re waiting for the water to boil, plug the sink drain and line the basin with aluminum foil.
Make Your Natural Cleaner. Sprinkle in quite a good amount of baking soda to clean the flatware and iodized salt as a safe abrasive cleaner, directly onto the foil. Then pour in a little bit of distilled vinegar and stir it around with your hands. You can pop on some dishwashing gloves if you’d like. This will activate the baking soda and form a thick paste.
Add All Of Your Silverware. Plop all your silverware right on top of your paste. This is also a good time to take the divider tray out of the drawer and wash it, as well as wipe down the inside of the drawer. You’d be surprised how many crumbs end up in there. I still have no idea how this happens, but it’s very frustrating.
Careful in Pour In Boiling Water. Be very very careful when pouring in the water. Make sure you pour away from you, not towards you. There’s going to be an enormous amount of steam, so don’t worry if you need to take a break halfway through to keep from overheating your face. (Or fogging your glasses and not being able to see what you’re doing. That was my problem!)
Rinse With Cold Water. Rinse the silverware with cold water to remove the cleaning mixture and lower the temperature so you can touch it.
After you rinse them, just let them hang out in the sink while you lay out a large bath towel on the counter.
Easy enough, right? Yes, it was. Now, ready for a major cleaning of the other parts of the house? You don’t have the luxury of time, do you? No worries, just call and book an appointment with a professional house cleaning service near me and enjoy your rest!
