Hi everyone, I am Wang Gang
Look we’ve got all utensils and cookware ready here
Anyway, I don’t know why I feel so good when I see stainless steel
Like those things behind me, they are all made of stainless steel and are all brand new
But one of the stoves is old
That stove has been idle for a long time
and is covered in rust
So today I bought some caustic soda
to remove the rust from it
This old workbench also has rust on it
Let’s get it cleaned
When I’m done with the cleaning, I’ll go shopping for more utensils and tableware
Then I can start cooking in here once I get everything I need.
I borrowed a pair of sunglasses from someone
to wear when we prepare the caustic soda
Also I need to wear a pair of rubber gloves for protection
We don’t recommend using caustic soda at home for kitchen cleaning
This is really DANGEROUS
For non-professionals please do not try at home
Let’s put on the sunglasses first
I had got caustic soda in my eyes once before and I almost went blind
because I was too young too naive
Okay, the water is boiling now
Now put the caustic soda in
Make sure you add it slowly and gently
If you add too much of it at once, the water will spill
That’s why we don’t recommend people to do this kind of work at home. It’s very DANGEROUS.
The caustic soda melts immediately
It’s now a super-alkaline solution
Pour it on the top little by little
Not too much at a time
It can erode your skin and make you feel itchy so you should avoid skin contact
Your skin would rot
So please be careful when you pour it.
As you can see, the rust can be easily scrapped off.
It does an excellent job on removing rust
But this method is only suitable for our kitchen, not for household use
It’s extremely DANGEROUS to operate at home
I wouldn’t recommend you do this
This is also an excellent grease remover
It works well on removing both rust and grease
Professional kitchen cleaning services normally use high-pressure washers
with caustic soda solution
Don’t let it touch your skin
Okay, let’s bring this pot of alkaline solution over there to clean that wok range
It’s not easy to clean here
I’ll stand up there
All right, let’s flush it with water
Look how easy removing this grease is!
It becomes very clean after a quick rinse
Let’s rinse the top part a bit
Okay, let’s make this simple today
Usually we use detergent to clean the kitchen everyday
We also use caustic soda every week
to remove the grease on the stainless steel
If we get lazy for a long time,
the grease will accumulate and become hard to wash
If we do deep cleaning every week,
we can keep our kitchen clean and tidy
And it makes me feel much better when I’m cooking
I hate the feeling of grease being everywhere and sticking to my hands
Okay, that’s it for today’s episode. Bye!
We’ll continue cleaning for a few more days and then the place should be ready
