Pinterest is full of interesting cleaning tips involving Dawn dish washing detergent. I'm going to try this one with Dawn and white vinegar as soon as I get a spray bottle.
I've used Dawn to clean my stubbornly grimy kitchen floor with great success in the past. It needs the Dawn treatment again.
It seems people are starting to jump on the Dawn bandwagon. But, does Dawn work on things that really involve elbow grease? Tonight, I put it to the test.
The entire bottom of the pot was black. This is after weeks of scrubbing. |
I've scrubbed it several times with baking soda. My mother in law scrubbed it with a scrub brush. We both managed to get a lot of the grime off using lots and lots of muscle power. But, enough of it remained that I wasn't ready to put this pot back into the cupboard yet.
All the talk about Dawn got me thinking. Why not mix the dish soap with baking soda and see what happens?
Still needs a bit of work, but this soup pot is almost completely recovered! |
Up next, can you really make your own Oxi-Clean with Dawn and a few other ingredients? Stay tuned for more information.
Barkeeper's Friend will do an amazing job on your pan without damaging it at all. It's a cleaner for stainless steel and aluminum. I'm betting you can get the inside to look as shiny as the outside, if you try it.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the 'must haves' in my kitchen. :)
Great Blog! Will give this a try.
ReplyDeleteI've had luck cleaning burned pans by putting water with some salt in the pan and simmering on teh stove for an hour. The burned on grime usually comes loose.
