Cleaning Tips: Keep these small tips in mind while cleaning the knife

We all use knives in our kitchen. We need a knife to cut fruits and vegetables and many other things. Not only this, sometimes we use a knife several times a day. In such a situation, it is equally important to clean it after use. It is seen that many times our hands get hurt when we clean the knife. Not only this, if the knives are not cleaned properly then they get spoiled soon. So, today in this article, we are telling you about some such small tips, which you should keep in mind while cleaning the knife-

don’t put in sink

Often we put dirty dishes in the sink. But when it comes to knives, it is advisable not to keep them in the sink. It is possible that when you are cleaning the dishes, you accidentally touch the knife kept in the sink. To avoid any such mishap, either clean the knife immediately after use or keep it by the side of the sink.

Use hot soapy water

It is necessary to clean the knife immediately after using it once. Wash you knife with hot soapy water immediately after use. Avoid leaving them dirty for long periods of time, as this can lead to stains and rust.

Do not clean in dishwasher

If you have a dishwasher at home, avoid putting the knife in it. In fact, the high pressure water, detergent, and heat of a dishwasher can damage blades and handles.

use a sponge

When you clean the knife, use a soft cloth or sponge to clean it. Never use an abrasive scouring pad to clean it, as this can scratch the surface of the knife.

dry immediately

This is also a small tip, but often people do not pay attention to it. After washing the knife, dry it immediately with a clean, dry towel. Be careful not to keep it wet for too long. In fact, moisture can cause a knife to rust and deteriorate.
