Cleaning a Can Opener With Wax Paper

Let’s face it: most of us aren’t as religious about cleaning a can opener as we are about maintaining other kitchen tools and utensils. We grab it from the drawer, use it for the task it is most useful for, and quickly rinse it at most. Because the can opener doesn’t seem to get too dirty, we just let it be.

In truth, a can opener can get pretty grimy. All manner of can contents come into contact with the kitchen tool and its inner workings. These bits linger, and bacteria build up, possibly spreading into the food in the next can you open.

Even after thorough washing with a dishrag or scrub brush, it’s challenging to get all the nooks and crannies of a can opener clean. However, there does exist a simple, inexpensive trick that can help. Plus, you already have everything you need.

Wax Paper to the Rescue

After reading articles on how to stretch out shoes using potatoes and solve your gardening-related problems with a bottle of Coca-Cola, it should not come as a surprise that wax paper can effectively clean your can opener. Running the thick paper through the gears quickly and easily dislodges any deep, hidden grime; furthermore, the wax simultaneously lubricates your tool for smoother operation. Incredible, isn’t it?

You probably know how absurdly addicting it is to pop bubble wrap, right? Well, running your can opener over the wax paper is equally satisfying. Besides, seeing the dirt and grime coming off of your kitchen tool is gratifying as well as reassuring.

How To Use Wax Paper To Clean Your Can Opener

  1. To begin with, tear off a four-inch-wide sheet of wax paper and fold it in half widthwise, and then lengthwise.
  2. Run your can opener over the long section of the wax paper on both sides before folding it in half lengthwise again.
  3. Repeat until no new dirt comes off on the wax paper.

Tear off a new sheet of wax paper as needed. You may require more than one if you haven’t cleaned your can opener for quite some time or ever (no judgement here!). Did you know about this genius life hack? Do you clean your can opener regularly? Tell us in the comments!

I am an English major with a love of languages and fiction, and with an incurable travel bug. In my free time, I read fantasy, drink copious amounts of coffee, and like to go see movies. Culinary art means everything to me. My main hypostasis is the taster, though. The music school has taught me to appreciate the symphony of airy meringues, to create harmonious overtures of light snacks, hard rock of meat, fish, and vegetables on the grill. Choir classes have accustomed me to hear and feel the people nearby and create perfect harmonies of sounds.
