That was back when he was like 5 minutes old and slept all the time.
I like to start out by filling it up with hot water and a few cups of vinegar.. Really hot water from your tap is often enough for cleaning, but if you really want to give it a good sanitizing, boil a big pot of water and dump that in there.If you’re using the hot water method of sanitizing, then your surfaces need to be in contact with water that’s 180 degrees for at least 30 seconds to kill off any unpleasant microorganisms.
I love this method because it’s fast and it’s effective!Don’t hesitate to use a thermometer either!You might look crazy but at least you’ll know it’s really clean!.
So I let the sink soak for a bit while the temperature of the water comes down.I take this time to grab an old toothbrush and scrub around the edges of the sink and the faucet..
I just dip the brush into the hot vinegar water and use that.
Also, if I have any caked on mess, like ketchup that somehow managed to splash up onto the faucet, I take a rag, dip it into the hot water and just let it hang out on the mess for a minute to completely take it away.. Once the water in the sink has cooled, I pull the plug!It looks just as good or, dare I say, better than the store bought silver things and for just pennies!
I had no idea this stuff was so good.. All you need to do is spray 2 VERY thin coats of this stuff on anything, waiting about 5 minutes between coats, and you’ll be set!.I have a ridiculous number of little objects all lined up to be silver-fied around the house when I get a few spare minutes, just for fun.
I’ve already done an old pitcher and it turned out just as good as this shell.Oh the possibilities!.
