Cleaning Rubber Handles


Special Offers


My stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher all have textured-rubber handles. How do I get them clean?
-- Cyndi Schoenbrun, Passaic, N.J.


Don't you just hate to grab an icky handle? Manufacturers warn not to use strong cleaners on rubberized handles because they can become sticky. So try one of these solutions:

1. Baking soda mixed with a little water. Rub the paste over handles. (But not if they're black.)
2. Mild liquid soap and water. Apply with a clean sponge; rinse.
3. Mild spray cleaner.

Try to wipe handles clean daily to avoid soil buildup.
