\ufeffI love using wooden spoons in my kitchen as they add a rustic charm to my cooking endeavors. However, I always make sure to give them some extra care and attention when it comes to cleaning. Firstly, I start by rinsing off any excess food particles under warm water. Next, I mix a gentle dish soap with warm water in a basin or sink. <\/p>\n

Now comes the fun part – gently submerging the wooden spoons into the soapy water and giving them a good scrub with a soft sponge or cloth. It’s important to avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals as they can damage the wood. After thoroughly cleaning each spoon, I rinse them off under running water to ensure all soap residue is removed. <\/p>\n

To prevent any moisture from being absorbed by the wood and causing damage, I always make sure to dry the spoons immediately after washing. I simply pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel and then leave them to air dry completely before storing them. Once they are dry, I like to give them some extra TLC by applying a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil or coconut oil to replenish the wood and maintain its longevity. <\/p>\n

By following these simple steps, I’m able to keep my wooden spoons looking beautiful and functional for years to come.<\/p>\n

      Final thoughts \ud83d\udcad<\/h2>\n

      Wooden spoons can be effectively cleaned by following a few simple steps. Firstly, avoid submerging them in water for prolonged periods as this can cause damage. Instead, wash them with warm soapy water and promptly dry them to prevent warping. When necessary, you can remove odors and stains by rubbing them with a paste made of baking soda and water. Additionally, periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil to the spoons will help maintain their quality and prevent them from drying out. By properly cleaning and caring for your wooden spoons, you can ensure their longevity and continued use in your kitchen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
