To restore shine and give a second life to your stainless steel pan, gather the following ingredients:
- One cup of baking soda
- Dishwashing liquid
- White vinegar
- Water
Start by wearing gloves. The cleaning process involves two stages. First, create a paste by mixing baking soda with water and apply it generously to the back of your pan, ensuring complete coverage. Baking soda, known for its excellent cleaning and anti-limescale properties, is highly effective. Place the pan in the sink and let it sit for 30 minutes before scrubbing with a damp sponge.
If this doesn’t completely remove the stains, turn to white vinegar, a versatile cleaning agent. Mix dishwashing liquid with vinegar, apply the solution with a damp sponge, and let it sit for ten minutes before rubbing to eliminate any remaining stains.
Lemon juice, with its citric acid, serves as a disinfectant, effectively cleaning, degreasing, and restoring shine. Another method involves creating a paste of baking soda and water, boiling it in the pot for a few minutes, letting it soak, and wiping it off with a clean cloth or towel.
