How to Make the Bottom of Pots & Pans Clean and Shiny – Only 2 Ingredients!

If your pots and pans have stubborn burnt stains, grease, or discoloration, don’t worry! With just 2 simple ingredients, you can restore them to a shiny, like-new condition—without scrubbing for hours.


🌟 The Magic Two Ingredients:

Baking Soda – Breaks down grease, removes burnt stains & polishes metal.
White Vinegar (or Lemon Juice) – Dissolves grime & adds shine.


🛠️ Step-by-Step Cleaning Method

1️⃣ Sprinkle baking soda generously on the bottom of the pot or pan.
2️⃣ Pour vinegar (or lemon juice) over the baking soda—let it fizz for 5 minutes.
3️⃣ Scrub with a sponge, brush, or crumpled aluminum foil (for extra cleaning power).
4️⃣ Rinse with warm water and wipe dry for a polished shine.

💡 For extreme stains:

  • Let the mixture sit for 15–30 minutes before scrubbing.
  • Use coarse salt + baking soda for extra scrubbing power.

🔥 Bonus Tricks for Specific Materials:

Stainless Steel – Add a few drops of olive oil after cleaning to keep it shiny.
Copper Pots – Use lemon + salt instead of vinegar for best results.
Cast Iron – Avoid vinegar; use baking soda + water paste instead.


🌿 Why This Works So Well:

Removes Burnt Stains & Grease Fast
No Harsh Chemicals Needed
Works on Any Type of Pan (Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Copper, etc.)
