The “wooden spoon” challenge

When was the last time you boiled your wooden spoons?

If the answer is “never”, you may want to…just be ready for what you’ll see!

There’s a Tik Tok challenge going viral according to the Mirror where you boil your wooden spoons for 20 minutes to clean them and all sorts of oil and old food particles come out in the water.

Some think it’s gross (raising hand!)…others say it’s harmless and an overreaction.

It turns out that even washing wooden utensils in a dishwasher won’t get them totally clean

The Mirror also says you shouldn’t be rinsing any dishes before you put them in the dishwasher…they might clean properly!

Who knew? 🤷‍♂️
