Using your sponge or scrub brush, gently scrub the pot’s interior. Most stains and residues will come off easily.
Empty the pot and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Dry your pot with a clean towel or let it air dry.
Serving and Storage Tips:
This method works great for stainless steel, aluminum, and non-coated pots. For regular maintenance, try this natural clean once a week to keep your cookware shining. Always store your pots dry to prevent rust or buildup.
Variations:
For extra tough stains, sprinkle a bit of salt along with baking soda before scrubbing.
Lemon juice can replace vinegar for a fresh scent and similar cleaning power.
If you don’t have vinegar, a mix of baking soda and just hot water can work with a bit more elbow grease.
