What You Will Need
- Baking Soda
- Dish Soap
- Vinegar
- Cotton Balls
- Cleaning Cloths
Step One: Clean
Begin by washing the pot or pan as normal with dish soap and water. This will remove any grease, grime, and other debris that may be covering up the stain.
Step Two: Scrub
Once pot or pan is clean, sprinkle some baking soda onto the surface of the stain. Using a damp cloth, scrub the baking soda into the stain in a circular motion. The baking soda should help to loosen up the ink stain.
Step Three: Soak
Once you have scrubbed the baking soda into the stain, soak the pot or pan in a mixture of hot water and dish soap for 10-15 minutes. This should help to further loosen the stain and make it easier to remove.
Step Four: Wipe Away
Once the pot or pan has soaked, take a cotton ball and dampen it with white vinegar. Gently wipe away the stain with the vinegar-soaked cotton ball. The vinegar should help to effectively break down and remove the stain.
Step Five: Rinse
Once you have wiped away the stain, rinse the pot or pan with hot water to remove any remaining residue. Dry pot or pan with a clean cloth and stain should be completely gone.
Conclusion
Ink stains on pots and pans can be challenging to remove, but thankfully there are a few simple solutions that can help. With these steps, you can safely and quickly get rid of ink stains on your pots and pans and make them look good as new.
