Potatoes and salt, the very old cleaning trick: our grandparents have always done it

Here’s how to do it:
Cut a raw potato in half.
Sprinkle salt on half of the potato.
Use this salted potato like a sponge, vigorously rubbing the encrusted surface.
Repeat until the scale is completely removed.

Rinse the pot or pan thoroughly with hot water and detergent to remove all traces of salt.

Not only is this method effective at removing scale, it also extends the life of your pots and pans. Plus, it’s environmentally friendly and cost-effective, using only ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.

Scale under pots and pans is usually caused by a combination of factors, such as rust build-up, old paint flaking, or food and liquid spills during cooking.

With the use of a raw potato and salt, cleaning your pots and pans doesn’t have to be a daunting task. This easy, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method will keep your cookware clean and in good condition.
