A cleaning expert has shared an easy hack that can make old, grimy pans look brand new, just in time for the Christmas cooking season. Instagram star Ju demonstrated the method, which uses common household ingredients: salt, baking powder, white vinegar, washing up liquid, and kitchen roll.
In the video, Ju begins by sprinkling salt on the bottom of a frying pan, followed by a generous dusting of baking powder. She then pours washing up liquid over the mixed powder and covers the pan with several sheets of kitchen roll. Finally, she pours white vinegar onto the absorbent paper and leaves the mixture to rest.
After some time, Ju removes the wet kitchen roll, which has absorbed the dissolved grease and grime. A quick wash leaves the pan looking good as new, ready for the festive cooking season.
The hack has gained attention as a cost-effective and efficient way to tackle stubborn grease without harsh chemicals. Many households have pans with blackened bases from years of use, and this method offers a simple solution.
