Hmmm… Did you ever even in your wildest dreams thought of using ketchup as a cleaning tool?
Tomato ketchup is without all reasonable doubt the best condiment, although mayonnaise holds the number one sales spot, apparently. Lord knows why, ketchup is obviously the better choice. But, there are hidden facts about ketchup which I bet you didn’t know! So let me do the honor as always HA!
Ketchup will polish your tarnished silver!
This beloved food condiment isn’t just for burgers and fries — your lackluster silver (jewelry or beyond) can be completely transformed. Simply submerge the item in a bowl of ketchup and let it sit for NOT more than 5-10 minutes. Then remove the jewelry and use a toothbrush to gently scrub the paste around before rinsing it off with warm water. Dry it off and put it on!
Use ketchup to shine your car and alloys!
You can use ketchup to clean the tarnish from car parts. In a similar vein to cleaning silver and copper, ketchup is great for shining up your alloys, and adding sheen to car metal in general. Good Housekeeping notes that ketchup isn’t great for removing dirt, so you’d be best to clean the car first and use ketchup to add shine.
Shine your copper pots!
Whether you have copper-bottomed cooking pans, architectural detailing, or shiny knick-knacks, trade the costly metal polish pastes, and make use of those old ketchup packets stashed away in your kitchen drawers.
Yep! That was all for today.
