Housewives who think that the most difficult thing is to clean pans from grease and soot, probably have not yet encountered dirty lids. Usually all the dirt accumulates under the rim, and it is not possible to reach it even with a special narrow brush. In this case, ordinary hydrogen peroxide, which is in every first aid kit, comes to the rescue. Take the lid, pour hydrogen peroxide into it, wait 5-10 minutes until the reaction starts and the antiseptic “eats away” the fat, then rinse the lid with warm water. Peroxide is a powerful cleaner and, in addition, an antiseptic, so you can put the lid in order in no time. And to make the cleaning agent as effective as possible, mix a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide with two tablespoons of baking soda until a thick gruel is obtained. Pour boiling water over the lid to soften the dirt a little, then apply the paste on it (it is more convenient to do this with a dishwashing sponge or toothbrush). Leave the paste on for 15 minutes, then brush the lid again and rinse it with hot water.
