Graters

tricks and tips to cleaning a cheese grater...?

Doing dishes is my least favorite household chore and the cheese grater seems to be the dish that gives me the most trouble. There just isn't enough room to fit your hand inside there without getting bruise bloody knuckles or a sponge that's falling to pieces. Any ideas would be great. also any ideas for cleaning a built in cutting board. Thanks in advance!

1. tap it off something or toothpick
2. I am thinking you need a brush with a handle (kinda like a toilet bowl brush... yuck) that you can stick in there after you soak t6he grater in hot soapy water to loosen the gunk inside.
3. for grater - use a brush for bottles cutting board - Hot water and soap - Scrub board with hot water and soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly. NOTE: NEVER submerge cutting boards in a sink of water! Wood is porous and will soak up water causing the cutting board to crack when it dries.
4. For the grater you can use either a sponge/brush on a long handle ( the ones you can fill up with soap). That way you don't hurt your hands, a dish cloth would work too. Just a plain soap and water scrub for the cutting board.
5. when you use the sponge, go the opposite direction so you dont grate the sponge
