Washing dishes can be a hassle when food sticks to pots and pans. But don’t panic, the best remedy for cleansing is a simple and affordable ingredient that everyone has on hand: baking soda!

Then, wait about 30 minutes before using an abrasive sponge or metal scraper to scrub and rinse. You will immediately notice its effectiveness! And this trick remains natural without harmful chemicals. You can apply baking soda to your sponge every time you wash dishes.
As for the outside of pots and pans, they can be cleaned with baking soda, vinegar, and lemon juice. You can mix 2 tablespoons of each ingredient and rub the outside of the molds with the resulting paste. The dirt will disappear immediately.

For this trick you will not only need baking soda but also white vinegar, but first there are some steps to follow before applying them:
- Remove as much of the burnt food and debris from the pan as possible.
- Return the pan to the stove and heat until a drop of water sizzles.
- Add 1 cup of water or a mixture of 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of white vinegar to the hot pan and bring to a boil. Use more white vinegar if you have a large saucepan or large skillet.
- While the liquid simmers, use the spatula or scraper to wipe the bottom of the pan, removing any burnt food debris.
- Pour the liquid down the sink and do not dry or clean the pan.
- Generously sprinkle the bottom of the utensil with baking soda and allow to cool.
