How to clean oily lunchboxes without water

Here’s useful trivia I learnt from the lab = )

To clean oily lunchboxes etc without soap and water :

1. Pour a few drops of Hand-sanitizer (the water-free kind recommended for H1N1) onto your lunchbox/plate etc

2. Use a normal dry tissue to gently spread the Hand-sanitizer all over, the way you would do with dish-washing liquid.

3. Use another dry tissue to clean it all off.

VIOLA!!! Oil-free, sauce-free, germ-free lunchboxes!!!! No need water!!!

I find this very useful for the lunchboxes I pack for work, where I’m too lazy to walk to the bathroom/pantry to use soap and water.

Good for sales people on-the-go, or mothers with kids stuff.

For oily-hands, i still like the Wet-tissues from Watsons, but that doesn’t work well for oily lunchboxes.

Oh, and having that travel-size Hand-sanitizer is also good for very easy cleaning of white-boards with permanant-marker writings!!!

This article had a readership of 8 on its first day.

I think this means my readership are not those who need to clean oily lunchboxes on the go.

LOL

I thought you work at the Biopolis, Micropolis, Fusion-polis or something-polis where they have nice canteens with great food. Why pack lunch?

Wah, interesting. But I wonder will there be sanitizer residue left on the box?
