HOW TO REMOVE BANANA SAP STAINS FROM KNIFE



Unripe banana and plantain oozes a sticky sap which turns brown on exposure to air. This could be very annoying after using knifes to peel banana/plantain. It can ruin the look of utensils and render them unpleasant to work with as the sap could stick to the palms. In addition, it could be very difficult to wash off ordinarily with water and soap. However, the following is a very easy and fool-proof method to clean saps from utensils. This works for almost every sap.

What you will need
Oil - olive oil, vegetable oil or any oil available.
Detergent
Water
Scrubbing foam or light sponge

Method:
Rub the oil in on the stained utensil. Work the oil gently on the stains. As this is done, you will notice the sap getting 'dissolved' by the oil. Add detergent and rub gently with the foam. Rinse with the water. Your utensil is back in shape with all trace of the sap gone.
