2p cleaning hack makes baking trays look ‘good as new’

A viral cleaning hack has taken social media by storm, promising to restore your grimy baking trays to their former glory with minimal effort and a negligible cost.

The revelation that an ordinary 2p coin can tackle the toughest of stains without endless scrubbing has rejuvenated kitchenware across the nation.

Initially shared by Louise Wright in the Hinch Army Cleaning Tips Facebook group in January 2020, her miraculous method alongside compelling before and after snapshots has inspired countless not to discard their stained bakeware, reports the Mirror.

Louise advised: “Don’t bin baking trays. I spend a fortune on baking trays because I buy the cheaper range and they don’t last long being marked by tough cooking stains.

“But I tried the 2p trick going about and it worked.”

She then detailed the surprisingly simple procedure, instructing: “Rub baking tray with the 2p and then wash as you would with daily dishes.

“It works, takes away the burnt marks left from baking/cooking. No more binning and replacing.”

The post received a flood of likes and comments, with many expressing gratitude to Louise for posting the nifty suggestion.

Reactions included one user exclaiming, “Fabulous, thank you,” while another lamented, “OMG the money I’ve wasted throwing them away.”

A third committed to trying out the hack, “Will give this a go now,” they declared, adding, “Thanks for sharing.”

It was even hailed as a “game-changer” by someone in awe.

Additionally, one individual noted that the nifty 2p method could also tackle lime scale on taps hinting at its potential for many other uses.
