To do this, you need to stock up on 150 grams of soda ash, 2 pieces of laundry soap, a little office glue. You should also prepare a grater and tongs.

In addition, there must be a large bucket or saucepan so that the pan that needs to be cleaned can fit into such a container.

Pour 6 liters of water into the container and put it on the fire. Add soap shavings, soda and glue. Mix the mixture and leave it for a while under the lid.
