How to remove mildew spots on chopsticks?

Chopsticks are a necessity for three meals a day. Most people like and are used to using wooden chopsticks. As far as experience is concerned, Bian Xiao thinks that iron chopsticks are too slippery to use. But in a humid environment, wooden chopsticks are easy to get moldy. When people wash chopsticks, they don't have the habit of drying them before putting them away. Even if they are dried, they are still wet. What if they are moldy? Don't throw it away, Bian Xiao will teach you a few tricks!

Method 1: Taomi method

Taomi water is an easy-to-get prop. When washing rice, put it in a separate basin for standby, find out the moldy chopsticks at home, soak them in rice washing water for about 7- 10 minutes, take them out, rinse them with hot water, then drop less blood vinegar on the chopsticks, and then expose them to the sun.

Method 2: ginger wiping method

Find a piece of ginger at home, wash it, slice it, put it in a bowl for later use, boil water in the pot, add a lot of salt, put the chopsticks in for a while, take it out and drain it, wipe the ginger on the moldy place of the chopsticks, and cook it in the pot after repeated several times.

Method 3: white vinegar cooking method

White vinegar has a strong bactericidal effect. Pour white vinegar and water 1: 1.5 into the pot, put chopsticks in, and cook over high fire. Turn off the fire after about 20 minutes. You don't need to take it out after turning off the fire. Let the chopsticks stand in the pot for 5-7 minutes, then rinse them with cold water and dry them.

This is a small coup to get rid of moldy chopsticks. Go and have a try!
