1. Use a long handled washing up brush.
2. Use a nail brush - or a washing up brush - of course. Cor blimey, MEN! (just kidding!)
3. Dishwasher, sh'easy.
4. Use a brush - and I'm not a girl!!
5. knock out all parts of the cheese.... then leave to soak in hot water maybe..... lol its wot i do
6. Use a brush
7. thick git.
8. Don't use a sponge.. A washing up brush should do it
9. But WHY wash a cheese grater? The subsequent grated cheese tastes MUCH better if you never wash the thing...
10. you wash it from the other side
11. wash the smooth side!!!!
12. just swipe the sponge up instead of down. if the cheese is grated by swiping down, then swipe the sponge in the opposite direction of the blades! and only go one swipe at a time....don't go back and forth. silly rabbit:) EDIT: or you could do what i generally do...put it in the dishwasher....
13. Turn it upside down ☺
14. HOT, HOT water. Soap. Wipe the opposite direction you would if you were gratting cheese. Make sure to wipe both sides.
15. clean from side to side instead of top to bottom.
16. Use a metal scourer.
17. Use a brush as everyone says - but here's the trick of drying it so it doesn't go rusty: put it in the oven, if you've had it on, the residual heat will dry it and you won't need to grate your tea towel either. If oven has not been on, put grater on radiator instead. Ta Da !
18. soak in hot water with washing up liquid then using a cloth wipe it up instead of down also wipe the other surface clean too, it ain't rocket science.
19. use a dish brush
20. use a dishwashing brush instead of a sponge. Easy peasy.
21. ok u have a few options 1. get ur mum 2 do it 2. get ur girlf 2 do it 3. slightly cover it in a cooking oil so food wont stick 4. use boiling water, and washin up liquid 2 remove the food 5. instead of scrubbin up and down, go from side 2 side 6. get a dishwasher Best of luck and mind ur knuckles
22. I secure mine with strong string, tied to two fixtures, and use my power washer. In order not to be seen to be wasting water, I put my hanging baskets in the line of fire, so they get watered as well
23. You don't use a regular sponge silly, you use a steel one. You can find it either in in hardware store or the grocrery store. Good Luck.
24. i soak mine in hot water, then go over the back side of it and finally anything left i use a pipe cleaner
25. wash it in the dishwasher
26. Use a dish cloth and they also don't hold all the germs as a sponge, just throw them in the laundry, and have several clean on hand.
27. Simple....pop it in the dishwasher! Ta da.
28. Use your sponge down or with the blades instead of against them. Come om lad it's not just the lasses who wash up i
29. Steel wool pad or the dishwasher.
30. Spray it with Pam before you grate and you won't have nearly as much cheese stuck to the grater. I run it under hot water and dislodge whatever cheese is there with my fingers and then soap it up scrubbing in the opposite direction you would when grating with a brush.
31. use a washing up brush and use really hot soapy water.
32. Wash it backwards, going up so that the grates are nor rubbing against the sponge. Then finish it by washing the back side.
33. Instead of rubbing the sponge on the opposite direction of the grater, on the length, I use the sponge sideways, in between the rows, then the back of the grater. Minimum damage to the sponge, maximum cleaning.
34. leave it to soak while u wash the rest of ur dishes then wipe up instead of down
