When camping, it may be by the water, by the mountain stream, or at the top of the mountain. It's fun for everyone to have a good meal together during camping, but what about a lot of dirty dishes and cooking utensils left after camping? It's impossible to simply put it away and use it next time. Using disposable dishes and chopsticks also won't work, because you have to carry a large bag of garbage everywhere. We have summarized several good tips for cleaning dishes, chopsticks and kitchenware:

Application method:

1. Before cooking, apply a thin layer of biodegradable soap on the outside of the pot, so that the pot will not be burnt and it is more convenient to clean.

2. When cooking, use an open stove to boil the water for cleaning the cooking utensils. After cooking, cleaning the cooker will be much easier; Otherwise, the food in the pot will become cold and hard.

3. Prepare three pots or buckets:

(1) Pan washing: put a few drops of biodegradable soapy water in hot water

(2) Hot water washing pot: wash the pot with clean hot water.

(3) wash the pot in cold water: put a small spoonful of bleach or something with similar effect for sterilization (please refer to the following tips)

4. Scrape the pan and plate before washing. Scrape most of the food fragments from the pot or dish, which can prevent the washing from getting dirty quickly;

5. Wash the dishes in the sink. If you wash dishes immediately after cooking, scrub them as little as possible (unless you burn the pot during cooking);

6. Fix the dishes with pliers and dip them in the hot pot. This is very important. You can wash soap bubbles from dishes;

7. Immerse the discs in cold water for twenty (20) seconds.

8. Place the dishes on a clean floor cloth or a piece of tin foil and drip dry. If you have time, let the dishes dry; Or put the disc on a dry and clean net rope bag, hang the rope bag on a branch, or other convenient fixing device, or other convenient fixture. Air and sunlight do not contact any possible dirty surface, and can quickly dry dishes. Bleach also volatilizes.

9. First open the filter to treat the dirty water of dishwashing water; After complete filtration, completely pour out all food particles.

10. After camping and picnic, put out the campfire and surrounding areas with water.

11. Empty the water in the filter, put it in the picnic bag and take it with you.

12. Pour the dishwashing water into an empty bucket and filter out the residue of soap. Pour the water in the same place.

13. Disinfect the bucket, pour the cool bleach into the washing tank, and then put it into the washing cylinder. Finally, pour the water where you poured it the first two times.

Soap free cleaning method I:

1. Find some sand or gravel (sand or gravel in stream or river bed generally can not contain organic matter);

2. Heat hot water, as described above;

3. Apply a little to the residual cooking oil on the plate, add some wood chips left during camping cooking, and then add a few teaspoons of hot water to synthesize a thick cleaning solution. This mixture has strong effect. Please participate in the following warnings:

4. Scrub the dishes with sand or gravel in a separate pot and vegetable washing basin;

5. Dry the dishes naturally;

6. Heating dishes immediately before cooking helps to disinfect.

Soap free cleaning method 2:

1. Clean up the campfire area before making a campfire. Don't burn garbage in the cooking fire. Hardwood ash is best for cooking. After cooking, keep the campfire burning under control.

2. Choose an iron pot of appropriate size. If the pot becomes greasy and hard shell after cooking, it will become easy to clean.

3. Use a long handled spoon to put the ignited carbon and ash into the pot. Put about two spoons to finish the dirtiest and greasy dishes.

4. Add enough water to reduce the concentration in the pot. The thick pot shell is very hot, but the water in the pot will not be hot. Mix it with ash.

5. Apply hot plaster to all dirty dishes and kitchen utensils. Although it looks a little scary, it can effectively remove dirt. Charcoal can remove the pot from any food. For the stubborn pot, you might as well soak it in grey paste for a few minutes. The effect will exceed what you think.

6. Always carry plenty of water. Place dirty dishes at least 60 meters away from water. After washing, hang the dishes and supplies with net rope to dry. Place each washed dish in a clean and dry place, and be sure to wash your hands at the same time.

Spray washing:

1. Use non stick pan and non stick grill. Don't worry that the outside of the pan will be scorched. If the pan is still hot after cooking, quickly wipe the pan with a paper towel clamped with pliers to avoid burning your hands. Wipe the pot repeatedly until there is almost no residue in China.

2. Spray some window cleaner or spray cleaner. Spray a little on the pot. Don't worry about it during dinner. After dinner, spray some detergent on the plate;

3. Soak the dish with a spray cleaner, then wipe it with a tissue, so there will be no residue.

4. Rinse with clean water.

5. If a small amount of polluted water is poured into the camp or nearby waterways, the food in the washing water is corroded and attracts ants and / or rodents, many problems will occur. So wipe and dispose of the food, or burn it, or seal it, rather than dump it on the ground or in the river. If you do not wish to have any effect, use a clean spray and wipe it with a cloth, then wash the cloth at home to make sure that there is little residue left in the camp or near the waterway.
