3. With citric acid

Have you ever heard of citric acid? ? It is a natural active present in lemons.

It is mainly used to descale or remove rust from metal materials.

Citric acid is even used to remove the moss present on the terrace slabs.

Plus, it's easy to get them. It can be bought in powder or can be extracted from a lemon if you have some in the kitchen.

This ecological and 100% biodegradable product is therefore used for many things.

And even to recover traces of burns encrusted in the bottom of the pan, whether cast iron or stainless steel.

Take your burnt pot and put 2 tablespoons of citric acid in it and fill it with boiling water on top.

Wait a few minutes for the mixture to take effect, then wipe the bottom with a sponge (or scrape with a wooden spoon).

All the residues then come off; you just have to wash (several times if necessary) your pan with clear water and you're done.

Be careful however, be aware that citric acid is not suitable for enamel materials and aluminum.

4. With soda crystals

As you are a pro at easy, natural and inexpensive cleaning, I'm sure you know about soda crystals.

Soda crystals are notably THE SOLUTION if you need to recover the burnt bottom of a frying pan, casserole dish or pot in cast iron .

Put soda crystals and boiling water in the burnt pan and leave to act overnight.

Soda crystals have the advantage of being able to hydrate dry materials, which makes it easier to remove stuck-on residue.

You just have to pass a cloth soaked in water to wipe your pan bottom and everything becomes nickel again.

Add to this (if you wish) a few drops of lemon for an even more pleasant scent.

Although soda crystals are 100% ecological, some precautions should be taken.

Do not use this product on aluminum materials.

Soda crystals can also irritate the skin; they should therefore be handled with care using gloves.

More generally, follow the precautions for use before using and/or creating your homemade household products.
