Things You'll Need:

- Dish Scrub Sponge (sponge on one side, scrubber on the other)
- Dish soap
- Spray bottle
- Water

Step 1
VinegarTo remove hard water stains from teapots or pans, pour ½ cup of vinegar into at least 4 cups of water. Boil it for 10-15 minutes, then let it cool down. Pour out water and wash, using a small amount of dish soap and a scrub sponge.
-
Step 2
Baking SodaTo remove cooked food from the bottom of pots or pans, first try to remove what you can. Then pour vinegar in the pan so it covers the bottom. Sprinkle in baking soda. The mixture will bubble. Swirl it around and let it sit for 2 minutes. Pour it out and wash as usual.

Step 3
Table SaltAs the bottom of your good cookware turns black with age, a simple cleaning technique is to pour vinegar over the bottom of the pan then sprinkle with table salt. Let it sit for 1 minute and then, using the scrubbing side of your dish sponge, rub it in a circular motion. Rinse and repeat if necessary. The copper or stainless steel bottom will return to looking like new.

Step 4
Keeping your stainless steel shiny can be a battle. Place ½ cup of vinegar into a standard spray bottle with just a couple of drops of dish soap and then fill with warm water. Use this spray on all your stainless surfaces to keep them shiny and streak-free.
