How to Remove Stains on Bakeware

General wear and tear is expected to happen over time to your bakeware. Daily use and repeated washing of the bakeware can leave it stained with food, grease, and rust. Replacing your bakeware can be expensive, and many of your used items may work perfectly except for the unsightly stain. Before tossing your old bakeware, try a few household tips to remove the stains and restore the look of your kitchen items.

Sprinkle pumice cleaner onto the rust stains.

Scrub the bakeware and cleaner with an abrasive pad until all rust is removed. If there is still rust present, continue to the next step.

Spray the rust stains with oven cleaner. Wrap the bakeware in plastic and allow it to sit overnight.

Unwrap the bakeware and heat the oven to 150 degrees F. Place the bakeware inside the oven for 20 minutes.

Turn off the oven. Remove the bakeware and let it cool.

Soak the bakeware in hot soapy water for 30 minutes. Scrub the bakeware with steel wool or a mesh plastic scrubber. Rinse and dry.
