Even cutlery made of high-quality materials fades over time, and some even rust. It’s obvious that using such forks and spoons yourself, let alone offering them to guests, is unpleasant. If you don’t plan on buying new cutlery anytime soon, we recommend replacing your old ones. To do this, take a lemon, cut it in half, and rub it thoroughly with half a citrus spoon or a fork that has lost its attractive appearance. Let the lemon juice soak for a moment, then rinse the cutlery under warm water and polish it with a soft cloth. This will eliminate any rust, and the cutlery will shine like new. Cutlery that isn’t heavily soiled can be soaked in potato broth. Therefore, don’t throw away the water in which the potatoes were cooked—it’s better to use it for cleaning forks and spoons. Half an hour is enough to clean the stained areas. After this time, remove the cutlery from the broth, rinse it in a bowl of warm water and dry it thoroughly.
