Things You'll Need:
- Baking soda
- Dawn power dissolver
- Soft scrub
- Plastic scrubber or plastic bristle dish brush

Step 1
Avoid getting permanent stains on the pans by washing them immediately after use. If you don’t have time to clean the pan right away, fill it with water and clean it later, but calaphalon pans have better chance of coming clean if you wash them while they are still warm.

Step 2
Use baking soda to clean your calphalon cookware. Clean the cookware as normal with a plastic scrubber and mild dish soap. If any stains or residue is left in the pan cover the still damp pan with baking soda and leave it for a couple of hours. Return to the pan and wash it again with the soap and plastic scrubber.

Step 3
Use a specialty cleaner to wash a Calphalon pan. If the residue will not come out of your calphalon pan, you will want to try using Dawn Power Dissolver. It is a thick liquid spray cleaner that is milder than oven cleaner and dishwashing detergent but stronger than regular dish soap. It is excellent for removing baked on grease. Spray the product on the pans and let it sit for about two minutes then wash it clean. If you cannot find this or a similar product, then put dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle and dilute it with water.

Step 4
Try using soft scrub cleaner to remove stains and residue from your calphalon cookware, with a scotch plastic scrubber. This should remove any cooked on grease from your pan. If the pan has lost its non-stick properties due to the stains, once they are cleaned away, it should be non-stick again.

on 8/20/2009 From what I understand, baking soda can damage the surfaces of most of the current line of Calphalon cookware. Additionally, using baking soda to clean your Calphalon pans voids your warranty. This is pretty bad advice.
