how can you wash a cheese grater without shredding your bloomin sponge?

Question

come on girls whats the secret?

Answer 1

Use a long handled washing up brush.

Answer 2

Instead of rubbing the sponge on the opposite direction of the grater, on the length, I use the sponge sideways, in between the rows, then the back of the grater. Minimum damage to the sponge, maximum cleaning.

Answer 3

Use a brush as everyone says - but here's the trick of drying it so it doesn't go rusty: put it in the oven, if you've had it on, the residual heat will dry it and you won't need to grate your tea towel either. If oven has not been on, put grater on radiator instead. Ta Da !

Answer 4

Wash it backwards, going up so that the grates are nor rubbing against the sponge.
Then finish it by washing the back side.

Answer 5

But WHY wash a cheese grater? The subsequent grated cheese tastes MUCH better if you never wash the thing...

Answer 6

Spray it with Pam before you grate and you won't have nearly as much cheese stuck to the grater. I run it under hot water and dislodge whatever cheese is there with my fingers and then soap it up scrubbing in the opposite direction you would when grating with a brush.

Answer 7

Use your sponge down or with the blades instead of against them. Come om lad it's not just the lasses who wash up i

Answer 8

Use a dish cloth and they also don't hold all the germs as a sponge, just throw them in the laundry, and have several clean on hand.

Answer 9

HOT, HOT water. Soap. Wipe the opposite direction you would if you were gratting cheese. Make sure to wipe both sides.

Answer 10

You don't use a regular sponge silly, you use a steel one. You can find it either in in hardware store or the grocrery store. Good Luck.
