According to hygiene experts, rice is not only a familiar food but can also help clean many household items thanks to its ability to absorb moisture, deodorize and create a gentle natural friction.
1. Clean bottles and jars with narrow necks
Put a little raw rice in a bottle with warm water and a few drops of dish soap, then shake well. Rice will help push away dirt clinging inside the difficult-to-wash areas.
2. Support cleaning burnt pots and pans
Boiling rice with water to create a thick mixture can help soften the burnt food layer clinging to the bottom of the pot, making scrubbing easier.
3. Clean the coffee grinder
Blending a small amount of rice in the machine helps absorb oil and debris remaining inside, supporting cleaning the knife blade and blending compartment.
4. Deodorize plastic boxes
Rice has the ability to absorb natural odors. Just put the rice in a plastic container, cover tightly and shake gently to reduce the long-lasting smell of food.
5. Support cleaning bathroom glass
Rice water containing starch can help soften soap residue and hard water stains on glass, making it easier to clean.
6. Cleaning jewelry
Warm rice can help absorb oil and mild dirt on jewelry surfaces. Combining wiping or light brushing will help make small gaps cleaner.
