Q&A for How to Clean Le Creuset

Firstly, I'm not sure which bottom it is, whether it is inside bottom or outer bottom layer. If it has rust on the inside bottom, then: 1. First put some baking soda on the surface and then rub it with a potato slice. 2. Or, you may wipe it with the lemon. 3. If it didn't work, then pour some hot water and add some salt into it, rest it for 1/2 hour and then clean it.

It really isn't too hard, as long as you have some time. Start by soaking it overnight in very hot soapy water, before rinsing it out and getting everything you can off. After that, use the scruffy end of a sponge to scrape as much as you can off, before soaking it again, if needed. After a little, everything should be able to scrape off, as long as it is non-stick. If it still doesn't work, and you are willing to scrape the inside of your pans... you can use steel wool balls.

Try the vinegar method: Simply mix a 1:1 ratio of white vinegar and water, pour it in the kettle, let it sit overnight. After the overnight soak, pop the kettle on the stove, allowing it to boil for five minutes, and then let sit for about a half-hour. Rinse the kettle.

Here is what you can do to clean the bottom of Le Creuset pan with bleach: Add a generous amount of chlorine-based bleach to the bottom of the pan and then fill it to the top with cold water.

Ensure the cookware is completely cool. Start with dish soap and warm water. Use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to clean. For stubborn stains, make a paste with baking soda and water.

A soak of baking soda and dish soap is effective. Common degreasers will work as well.

Bleach can be harsh on the enamel of a Le Creuset kettle, so it's not recommended.

Use gentle methods to avoid damage.
