Equipment List:

• The Pink Stuff (Miracle Cleaning Paste)
• Elbow Grease de-greaser spray
• Flash Bicarbonate All Purpose Spray
• Scrubbing pad
• Hot water

Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions:

1. Apply The Pink Stuff: Start by applying a generous amount of The Pink Stuff to the bottom of your pan. Use a scrubbing pad to work the paste into the stains using circular motions. Scrub for a few minutes, ensuring that the paste covers all the dirty areas. Rinse the pan thoroughly with hot water.
2. Use Elbow Grease: Next, spray the base of the pan with Elbow Grease de-greaser. Allow it to sit for a minute or two, then scrub the surface with your scrubbing pad. This will break down any remaining grease and grime. Rinse well with hot water.
3. Finish with Flash Bicarbonate Spray: Spray the Flash Bicarbonate All Purpose Spray onto the base of the pan. Scrub again for a few minutes, making sure to cover all the areas you previously worked on. Rinse the pan thoroughly with hot water until it is completely clean.

Tips and Variations:

• Always check that the cleaning products and pads you use are suitable for the material of your pan. Some materials may require gentler cleaning methods.
• For extra tough stains, you can repeat the cleaning steps multiple times.
• If you prefer a more natural approach, consider using a paste made from baking soda and water as an alternative to The Pink Stuff.
