What is the easiest way to clean greasy utensils?
Scrape off leftover food, apply a suitable dishwashing product as directed, wash with a sponge or brush appropriate for the utensil, and rinse thoroughly.
Should I rinse dishes before washing them?
Removing loose food residue first can make washing easier and help keep the wash water cleaner for longer.
How do I clean cookware without scratching it?
Use a non-abrasive sponge or tool suitable for the cookware surface. Follow the cookware manufacturer’s care instructions and avoid harsh scrubbing on delicate coatings.
Can dishwashing gel be used in an automatic dishwasher?
Only if the product label specifically states it is designed for automatic dishwashers. Hand dishwashing products can create excessive suds in a machine.
How should I store dishwashing products?
Keep them in their original containers, close the cap after use and store them away from children, food and direct heat, following label precautions.
