Ingredients needed:
Baking soda
White vinegar
Dish soap
Cleaning steps:
Use a large stainless steel pot or pan and fill it with water, about 5 tablespoons of baking soda, and half a bottle of vinegar. Then, place the other stainless steel utensils you want to clean, such as smaller pots, chopsticks, spoons, and strainers, into the large pot and put it on the stove to boil.
As the mixture boils, you’ll notice the stains starting to peel off. Once the solution reaches a rolling boil, remove the utensils and gently scrub them to ensure they’re spotless.

For stubborn stains, you can prepare a separate mixture of vinegar, baking soda, and dish soap, and add some boiling water to it. Use this to scrub away any remaining stains.
Boiling the utensils in the solution not only cleans them but also cleans the pot or pan you used for boiling. Simply use a cloth or a scouring pad to wipe the pot or pan, and it will look brand new. For the outside of the pot or pan, you can use the same boiling solution with some additional baking soda and vinegar.

Ms. Hoa Phuong added, “Although boiling the utensils in the baking soda and vinegar mixture is not mandatory, it makes the cleaning process much easier and less tiring. Before learning this method, I would spend an entire day scrubbing away at those annoying black stains without much success.”
For less stubborn stains, simply pour the mixture of vinegar, baking soda, and dish soap directly onto the stain and scrub it away. I hope these tips will be helpful to all the homemakers out there,” she concluded.
