Procedure

1. Crush the charcoal: Place a piece of charcoal in a plastic bag and crush it into small pieces.
2. Sift the charcoal: Pass the crushed charcoal through a sieve to separate the fine powder from the larger pieces.
3. Prepare the mixture: In a bowl, mix the charcoal powder with the juice of one lemon. The carbonic acid in the lemon will react with the minerals in the charcoal.
4. Apply the mixture: Apply the mixture to the bottom of the burnt pot, covering all affected areas well.
5. Scrub the pot: Use a scouring pad to scrub the mixture over the charcoal stains. You don’t need to use detergent in this step.
6. Rinse and wash: Rinse the pot and perform a final cleaning with detergent if necessary. You’ll see how burnt stains are easily removed.

Additional Tips:

• Repeat the procedure: If the stains persist, you can repeat the process several times until the pot is completely clean.
• Type of scouring pad: For best results, use an aluminum scouring pad or a sturdy scouring pad that won’t scratch the surface of the pot.
• Preservation of the mixture: The mixture of charcoal and lemon can be stored in an airtight container for future cleaning.

Benefits of this method:

• Economical: Use materials that you probably already have at home, avoiding the purchase of expensive chemicals.
• Eco-friendly: Reduces the use of chemical cleaning products that can be harmful to the environment.
• Effective: The chemical reaction between lemon and charcoal effectively removes stubborn stains without the need for hard scrubbing.
