UAportal has prepared tips that will help keep the sharpness of the grater effortlessly. You don't have to throw it away or buy a new one.

Soaking in vinegar

You can try soaking it in white vinegar for a few minutes. The acid contained in this product helps to break down any residue on the grater, thus restoring its sharpness.

After the soaking process, rinse the grater thoroughly with water and dry it with a clean towel. This method is simple and cost-effective.

Using foil

By rolling a piece of aluminum foil into a small, sturdy pad and firmly passing it through the grater, just as you would with cheese or vegetables, you can restore the efficiency of the grater. The abrasive nature of aluminum foil is an effective means of sharpening in just a couple of minutes with minimal effort.

Regular cleaning

You can maintain the sharpness and efficiency of your slicer by cleaning it regularly after each use. Removing food residue in a timely manner can prevent the grater from becoming dull over time.
