Cleaning Up/cleaning eggs of plates

Expert: Jan Hayner - 6/6/2009


Question
Hi after washing dishes that we have eaten just eggs I always have left an eggy smell to it that is impossible to get rid of. what can I use so that I will only have to wash my dishes once and not having a nasty smell to deal with.

Answer
Hi Florence;
I can't imagine why the smell of the egg is staying in your plates. if they are plastic it could be that there is a chemical reaction that is breaking down. However, no matter what the reason, all you have to do is spray them with vinegar after you wash them, leave for a few seconds and then rinse as usual. This will take the odor away and will not harm food or anything else.
Happy dish washing,
Jan Hayner
