Gambo Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Apart from the obvious 'dishwasher' or 'get the wife to clean it' answers, does anyone have any good tips on how to clean the close knit type of wire mesh sieve? No matter how hard i try or scrub, there is always something left stuck n the 'holes'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fabuloso Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Apart from the obvious 'dishwasher' or 'get the wife to clean it' answers, does anyone have any good tips on how to clean the close knit type of wire mesh sieve? No matter how hard i try or scrub, there is always something left stuck n the 'holes'. That's bugged me for years. I've even tried getting the wife to scrub harder but to no avail. Interested to see some solutions as we can't all get a new wife at the drop of a hat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Best thing to do is wash it right away after use. Letting anything dry onto it is asking for trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daydream Believer Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Jewellers Loupe and a pin. It takes a while but I think we can all agree there's no point taking chances with sieve clenliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
