dish soap may not be strong enough to remove it completely.
The result is a pan that looks permanently dirty—even when it has been thoroughly washed.
Start With the Gentlest Method
Before reaching for an aggressive cleaner, begin with warm water and dish soap.
Let the pan soak for a while to soften the residue.
Then use a non-abrasive sponge or scrubber appropriate for the material of the pan.
For many lightly stained pans, patience and soaking can make a bigger difference than aggressive scrubbing.
