Cotton rags, non-woven rags, plastic rags, steel wire rags and disposable rags are placed in the rag area of daily necessities. According to the sales staff in the mall, most people will choose sponge scouring pad, steel wire cleaning pad and pure cotton rag, and some busy white-collar workers or young people will choose convenient disposable rags. These rags range from two yuan to more than ten yuan, and the "magic rag" of the eight-layer oil filter imported from Germany has the highest price, about 19 yuan.
Wire rag: Boil off the crumbs before use.
Reason for choice: strong detergency.
Among all the dishcloths, the steel wire dishcloth is probably the strongest decontamination ability, and even the dirty tableware can be wiped very clean with it.
But if you don't wear gloves on your hands, it's easy to be scratched by steel wire. Of course, steel wire will also leave scratches on smooth tableware.
Tips for use: Most steel wire rags are made of industrial scrap steel, and some even hang industrial grease on the steel surface. Therefore, after buying a steel wire rag, you must cook it in boiling water several times to remove the industrial grease and sundries on the surface of the steel wire. At the same time, use it less to clean fine porcelain tableware.
Sponge rag: disinfected regularly every week.
Reason for selection: Good water absorption.
Sponge rags have excellent water absorption. When wiping, the water in the sponge can fully clean the tableware, which saves time and effort.
Tips for use: Sponge rags with good water absorption are often wet, so many pores are easy to breed bacteria and it is difficult to clean them thoroughly. So it is best to boil it or put it in the microwave oven for sterilization 1 ~ 2 times a week.
Non-woven fabric: it needs to be replaced in time after long-term use.
Reason for selection: Soft texture.
Non-woven fabric is very soft, which can protect ceramic tableware and clean it.
Tips for use: In addition to regular disinfection and frequent airing to keep the rag dry, non-woven rags are not strong enough and easy to tear after being used for a period of time, so attention should be paid to replacing them in time.
Disposable rag: stainless steel tableware is the most suitable
Reason for selection: It's really convenient to throw it away after use.
Disposable rags are favored by young people because of their convenient characteristics of throwing away after use and not cleaning. Disposable rags are mostly paper products, which are soaked with some chemicals, and the alcohol in them will not affect stainless steel kitchen utensils, on the contrary, it has strong decontamination ability.
Tips for use: It contains chemicals, which will affect the gloss of artificial marble countertops. If it is used to clean dishes and chopsticks, it will bring safety hazards to health.
Luffa pulp: pure natural and pollution-free.
The pulp of towel gourd used by grandmothers is actually the most natural rag, and its unique fiber structure makes it better in removing oil, water and alkali. More importantly, the pulp of loofah is a pure natural plant, which will not have any impact on health. If you are interested, housewives might as well give it a try.
What should I pay attention to when washing dishes?
Don't forget to disinfect regularly when you wipe the rag.
Washing rags with detergent is a common method. Actually, it is not scientific. Because detergent cleaning is very superficial disinfection, it belongs to mechanical disinfection and can't kill the bacteria on the rag. It can be seen that the following formal methods should be used to clean the rag:
Boiling disinfection: put the rag in boiling water for 3~4 minutes.
Disinfection with disinfectant: add 1 ml 84 disinfectant to 250 ml of clean water, and soak the rag in the prepared water for more than two hours.
Exposure disinfection: expose the rag to the sun.
