Vintage wooden rolling pin
+6
I.have an old wood rolling pin that originally belonged to my great grandmother. It was given to me by my mother. It has a sticky feeling and I would like to clean that off and be able to use it. I have seen an answer to this some time ago either here or Pinterest. Should have saved it! lol

Have you tried to use dish soap in the sink? I prefer Dawn but others will work and use your kitchen sponge to scrub. I have 2 vintage rolling pins I actually use and that is all I do to clean them. Dry off or let dry in the strainer before putting away. do not let sit in water! plus you could try rubbing alcohol which removes many things and I use it quite a bit. Then wash in soapy water and dry. Good luck

Try a salt & baking soda dry scrub - should loosen up the stickiness from previous use - you can also condition afterward with a few drops of mineral oil - good luck!

I have used steel wool - very gently with dish soap. Then I used salt and olive oil to clean afterwords ... I let that sit .... then later when I wanted to use it, I used dish soap to clean it. I have two really solid antique rolling pins (wooden) and a lovely glass rolling pin wherein I can either use hot water or ice - as I please. Good luck ...

I like to put just a bit of olive oil on mine every so often. I also keep it in a cloth bag in the cupboard so it doesn't get marked up. Since it was my Grandmother's too, I can't replace it - only the memories.

Try spreading a thin layer of solid shortening on it and let it sit overnight. Then wash in hot soapy water and let air dry. I use this method to remove sticky goo from labels on jars. It takes it all off. Before washing rub with paper towels. I reuse the jars for disposal of used cooking oil. I never put any grease in my dish water. Since I live alone I rarely use my dishwasher.
