Remove sourdough residue – clean bowls & baking utensils

Sourdough is one of the stickiest types of dough. After baking, residue often remains on bowls, spoons, dough scrapers, dough hooks or work surfaces.

Especially when sourdough dries, it can become very stubborn.

Why is sourdough so sticky?

Sourdough essentially consists of flour and water. The long fermentation creates a very sticky mixture that can adhere strongly to surfaces.

When sourdough dries, it forms a hard layer.

First remove larger pieces of dough with a dough scraper.

Very hot water can cause components of the dough to adhere more strongly to surfaces.

The Teiger® dough cleaning cloth can be used to mechanically loosen sticky sourdough residue from bowls and work surfaces.

The open mesh structure helps prevent dough residue from becoming firmly embedded in the cloth.

Sticky sourdough residue often remains especially in mixing or dough bowls.

If the sourdough has already dried, first moisten it slightly.

The firm layer can then be loosened mechanically.

Dough hooks and mixing tools are also typical places where sourdough residue sticks.

Teiger® was specially developed for removing dough residue.

The cloth is made in Germany and has an open, single-layer mesh structure with a reinforced edge.

After use, it can be rinsed under running water. For more thorough cleaning, it is also suitable for the dishwasher and washing machine.
