Things You Will Need
When this happens, don't fret. You can restore your pots and have them looking like new again.
-
Clean the affected area of the pot with a cloth and dish soap. Rinse and dry the pot.
-
Make a thick paste of baking soda and water and spread a layer of paste to completely cover the burn stain. Rub the paste into the area and leave it to work on the stain for a few minutes.
-
Scrub the paste over the burn mark gently with a soft cloth. Do not press too hard –the baking soda could scratch the porcelain finish. Rinse the pot clean.
-
Use Barkeeper’s Friend cleaner or a similar cleaner with oxalic acid as its active ingredient for more stubborn burn stains. Don rubber gloves and then apply it with a soft cloth and scrub gently.
-
Rinse the cleaner off, and then wash the pot with dish soap and hot water to remove any residue.
