Silverware Scrubber..??

[Stuart G]

I have found an amazing silverware scrubber. My dishwasher broke down 15 years ago, and I found this scrubber recently as I fill up the sink with dish soap and warm water. It not only scrubs the silverware so it is totally clean, it shines it at the same time. Very inexpensive to use and easy at the same time. Sometimes it is boring to use this, but that is ok, this is a different use for these tools...(tools ) ???

Ok, what are these scrubbers?...I don't know, people will think I am nuts...nothing new

Not only will I describe the scrubbers, but I will tell you how to clean the silverware...

So, the water is warm and you got a fork in the sink filled with soapy water. You take a fork, while it is in the water..and put the fork between the thumb and the first finger and move the fingers (thumb and first) back and forth over the fork while it is in the water... Do that a few times, and the fork will shine. look like new.

No extra cost, no special chemicals, no soap pads. just a little back and forth with your thumb and first finger over the fork to get it clean. Yes, it works on spoons and regular knifes. for sharp knifes, I would recommend a wet cloth to cover the fingers to protect it while the fingers scrub over the knife. be careful..knifes are sharp..

Well...yes I am nuts, and that is ok. I use this method and it works. maybe good for a laugh..

Oh, what did you expect from a single man who is over 65 and counting....

1. Would lady fingers work too? n/t

3. I am sorry if this sounded sexest.. Apologies are given now.

Here is the correct statement as it should read..:

Any and all fingers no matter how old, or not too young. ..(probably no younger than 6 or 7) will work at this job. Also, men and women, boys and girls, and all teenagers are easily taught the methodology of the procedure (I was taught at about 10) before that I dried wet dishes and silverware. And yes, I was taught many years ago, by a very nice lady..my mother. and she taught me well.

Thank You

Ladyfingers are a type of cookie...

2. Our dishwasher broke two weeks ago

and we dont have the money to replace or fix it. Atm, I'm having trouble even keeping a roof over our heads, but that is for a different thread.
So, I have relearned this amazing technique for cleaning ALL our dishes. It's called elbow grease.

5. There's also the "miracle of overnight soaking". Best wishes to your efforts. n/t

7. LOL, yes, that is one of the few "miracles" I actually can believe in.

And thank you for your thoughts and wishes.

8. Yes, I have heard of that one...maybe I will try it sometime..

actually might make the process "easier on the fingers."

.thank you.......



Oh...and in the next couple of days, another one of my brilliant household hints will be published here. This one is really stranger then the last...
