Forget paper towels and dish rags…there is a new cleaning aid on the block!
A slice of bread.
That’s right, a slice of bread can be used to clean your house. This age old hack has been around for many years, in fact…my own grandmother has used this cleaning hack for years!
Bread works wonders to get rid of all of stains, dirt, and smudges that are hard to remove. It functions as a natural alternative to cleaning erasers and specialty sponges. So, how do you use bread in place of a sponge?
To get started, just grab a loaf of rye bread or white bread. Once you have removed a slice from the loaf, take off the crusts and roll it up into a little ball. Gently dab stubborn smudges and stains with the bread ball and watch the magic unfold.
Dip the rolled up ball of bread into a little white vinegar and you will have a cleaning machine in the palm of your hand!
The secret is actually gluten.
The gluten in the bread actually allows the balled up bread to remove smudges and things like pencil marks. This hack won’t work with gluten-free bread.
