How to Clean Oily Dishes

Oily dishes can be a pain to clean, but there are a few simple tricks that can make the job easier.

1. Scrape off as much grease as possible.

Before you start washing the dishes, use a spatula or spoon to scrape off any excess grease. This will help to reduce the amount of grease that you have to deal with in the sink.

2. Use hot water.

Hot water is more effective at removing grease than cold water. Try to use the hottest water that your tap can produce.

3. Add a degreaser to the water.

There are a number of commercial degreasers available, or you can make your own by mixing dish soap with baking soda or vinegar. Add a few squirts of degreaser to the water and stir it up.

4. Soak the dishes.

Let the dishes soak in the hot water for a few minutes. This will help to loosen the grease and grime.

5. Scrub the dishes.

Use a sponge or dish brush to scrub the dishes. Be sure to get into all the crevices and corners.

6. Rinse the dishes thoroughly.

Rinse the dishes thoroughly with hot water. Be sure to rinse off all the soap.

7. Dry the dishes.

Dry the dishes with a towel or dish rack. This will help to prevent water spots.

Here are some additional tips for cleaning oily dishes:

* If the dishes are particularly greasy, you may need to soak them for longer than a few minutes.

* You may also need to use a stronger degreaser.

* Be sure to wear gloves when washing oily dishes. This will help to protect your skin.

* If you have a dishwasher, you may be able to use the dishwasher to clean oily dishes. However, be sure to read the instructions for your dishwasher before you do this.

Bonus tip: If you want to prevent dishes from becoming oily in the first place, try to use a little bit of oil when you are cooking. This will help to create a barrier between the food and the pan.
