A close up of a dirty spatula with the handle removed.Quite by accident, I realized that spatula handles come off. And when they do, omgosh! Now I am guessing this is not all food that gets trapped, but perhaps soap scum and/or?

Whatever it is, it's not healthy and should be cleaned about once a month. I clean mine out with a Q-tip and then soak it in bleach water. When it's clean, (see the one on the right), I put the handle back on.

Hope this helps!

To easily clean stuck food out of the grooves of spatulas and slotted spoons, cut a small U shape piece out of the end of a drinking straw. It is the perfect width to fit the slots, the straight edges will scrape the food and it is flexible. By Jennifer Dark
