By Shreya Goswami

Summary

Baking frequently includes handling sticky yet delicious doughs that can make cleaning up quite the hassle. Here are the top tips you need to clean up sticky dough from your countertops and utensils.

Use A Dough Scraper:

A dough scraper made of flexible silicone material can help gather dough and scrape it off surfaces like countertops and keep them clean.

Chill The Dough:

The easiest way to make sticky dough easier to handle is to chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes so that it firms up and is less messy to work with.

Hot, Soapy Water:

After you are done baking, soak the utensils, spoons, etc in hot soapy water for 10 minutes. This will help loosen up the dough remains.

Vinegar Solution:

If dough sticks to bowls and countertops then after you are done baking, make a solution of vinegar and water and apply. This helps dissolve and clean up everything.

Use Excess Flour:

Sprinkle plenty of flour on your countertops and then use the dough on them. This will help absorb the moisture and keep the countertops cleaner.
