I Regret Not Knowing This Potato Hack for 30 Years!

Potatoes aren’t just a kitchen staple – they have incredible hidden uses!

 

 

We’ve all had times when we accidentally bought sprouted or spoiled potatoes and didn’t know what to do with them. Instead of tossing them away, here’s how you can put them to good use in household cleaning!

Hack #1: Cleaning Your Gas Stove

Over time, gas stoves collect layers of grease and grime. Many people resort to dish soap, harsh chemicals, or even steel scrubs, which can damage the surface. But here’s a simple, cost-effective solution: a potato!

• Wash the potato and cut a thin slice to expose the inside.
• Rub the potato directly onto greasy areas of your stove. The starch in potatoes absorbs oil and dirt effectively.
• If needed, peel off the dirty potato layer and repeat for a deeper clean.

Hack #2: Degreasing the Range Hood

Similar to your stove, the range hood also accumulates stubborn grease. Instead of chemical cleaners, try this:

• Cut a potato and rub it over the greasy surface.
• Wipe the area with a clean cloth – you’ll see the grease lift away effortlessly!

Hack #3: Removing Stains from a Kettle

Over time, kettles develop limescale buildup, making them look unappealing. Instead of scrubbing endlessly, use potato peels:

• Rub the exterior with potato peels to remove stains.
• For interior buildup, boil potato peels in water for a few minutes, then rinse – the natural starch will break down limescale effortlessly!

Who knew a simple potato could be such a powerful cleaning agent? Give these hacks a try and save money while keeping your kitchen spotless!
