Ordinary Kitchen Helpers That Do Household Wonders | Easy Asian Cooking

Kitchen confidential unveiled! I stumbled upon these kitchen tips from food & travel magazine and found them noteworthy. We might never thought of some ordinary kitchen regulars could boost such an extraordinary fix-it powers hidden inside. Have a good read!

Below are the some common products that can work wonders in your home, from polishing silverware to shining your shoes.

Lemon

Try this refreshing lemon trick to remove the eyesore of tough food stains on your light wood and plastic cutting boards. First, slice the lemon in half, squeeze and rub against the soiled surface. Let it stand for about 20 minutes and rinse. With this, you'll get a clean and citrusy-smelling board.

Baking Soda

With this highly versatile kitchen regular, you can polish your silverware to blinding shininess. Start the polishing regime by washing the items and then placing them on aluminium foil in the bottom of a large pot. Drop this baking soda solution of 1/4 cup baking soda, a few teaspoons of salt and 4 cups of boiling water, then cover for a few seconds. Wipe dry and be delighted with the shiny results.

Besides polishing silverware, who knew you could boost your dishwashing liquid with a few spoonful of baking soda, then see it cut through grease like a hot knife!

Vegetable Oil

Put your best foot forward by shining your leather pumps with vegetable oil. Begin by using a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Thereafter apply a small amount of oil on your shoe with a soft cloth and gently rub to remove scuff marks.

Lint Roller

For those hard-to-reach corners in the kitchen, running a lint roller around those areas should bust the dust bunnies. Furthermore, with the sticky adhesive rounding them up indefinitely, you can be sure your kitchen passes the white-glove test.
