Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Start by rinsing out the clay pot with warm water to remove any large food particles or residue.
2. Fill a sink or basin with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap to create a soapy solution.
3. Gently scrub the interior and exterior of the clay pot with a soft bristle brush or sponge to remove any stubborn food stains or buildup. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface of the pot.
4. For tougher stains or odors, create a paste using baking soda and water and apply it to the affected areas. Let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing with a brush.
5. Rinse the clay pot thoroughly with warm water to remove any soap or baking soda residue.
6. To remove mineral deposits and limescale, mix equal parts white vinegar and water and soak the clay pot for a few hours. Scrub gently with a brush before rinsing.
7. Allow the clay pot to air dry completely before storing it away. Avoid using harsh chemicals or dishwasher detergents, as they can damage the clay pot over time.
With these simple steps, you can keep your clay pots looking brand new and ready for your next delicious meal! Happy cleaning! 🌿🍲
