4. Baking trays
Remove burnt stains from baking trays easily by applying a paste made of hydrogen peroxide and ordinary soda. Spread the paste on the baking tray and leave it for 30 minutes before rinsing.
5. Carpets
Prepare a solution made of one part vinegar and two parts water. Mix the water and vinegar together in a spray bottle and spray on the stain, covering with a damp cloth. Then, set your iron onto steam mode and place it over the cloth for 30 seconds.
6. Cast-iron pans
For cast-iron pans you will need a disinfectant, some gloves, garbage bags and white vinegar and follow these instructions:
• Spread a thick layer of the disinfectant on the old cast-iron pan.
• Put the pan in a garbage bag and tie it up tightly.
• Leave the pan in the bag for 1-2 days then rinse off the disinfectant.
• Apply a new layer of the same liquid and put it in a tightly knotted bag for one day.
• Wash off the dirt with hot water.
• Soak the pan in a mixture of warm water and vinegar (1:1) for an hour and scrub the surface with a scouring pad.
• Let the pan dry.
• Preheat the oven to 250C, putting the pan in it for an hour.
• Carefully remove the hot frying pan and apply a layer of olive oil all over it.
• The hot metal will absorb the required amount of oil - wipe off the residue with a clean, dry cloth and once again, put the pan in the oven, this time upside down.
• Take it out after 15 minutes, wipe with a cloth and place it in the oven again for an extra 15 minutes. Repeat for another two times.
