Karachi: (RightNow) Stainless steel utensils lose their shine over time, but expensive products are not necessary to restore them. Common household items can be used to bring back their luster.

Experts suggest soaking utensils with mild grease in lukewarm water and dishwashing liquid, then cleaning with a soft sponge. This method softens the grime, making it easy to clean.

For utensils with burnt food, instead of scrubbing with hard objects, vinegar can be used. Pour vinegar on the affected area and clean with a soft sponge.

For stubborn stains, prepare a mixture of baking soda and water, apply it to the stain, and clean with a damp soft sponge after half an hour.

Remember not to leave utensils dirty for long. Clean them immediately after use to make stain removal easier. Wear gloves to protect your hands during cleaning.
