EDENBOX STAINLESS-STEEL COOKING POT: WASH & CARE MAINTENANCE GUIDE
1. General Cleaning
Handwashing:
Use warm soapy water and a soft sponge to clean your stainless-steel pot after each use. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface.
For stubborn food residue, fill the pot with warm water and a bit of dish soap, let it soak for 10-15 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft sponge.
Dishwasher Safe:
Your Edenbox stainless-steel pot is dishwasher safe, but to maintain its shine, we recommend hand washing whenever possible.
If using a dishwasher, place the pot in the top rack to avoid direct contact with harsh detergents and high heat.
2. Removing Stains or Discoloration
Water Stains & Spotting:*
After washing, dry the pot thoroughly with a soft towel to avoid water spots.
Vinegar or Lemon Solution: Mix equal parts white vinegar or lemon juice with water, and bring it to a boil in the pot. This helps remove water spots or any stains.
Removing Tough Stains or Burn Marks:
Use a baking soda paste: Mix baking soda with a little water to form a paste and apply it to the stains. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then gently scrub and rinse.
Polishing:
If your pot looks dull, you can use a stainless-steel cleaner or a homemade mixture of baking soda and water to restore its shine. Apply gently with a soft cloth and buff the surface to a glossy finish. (For non-electroplated versions)
3. After-Cooking Care
Cool Down: Allow the pot to cool before washing. Sudden temperature changes (e.g., placing a hot pot under cold water) can warp the metal or affect its durability.
Avoid Overheating: Do not leave the pot on high heat without food inside, as this can cause discoloration or affect the finish.

Long-Term Maintenance for Years of Use
1. Regular Cleaning
Clean your stainless-steel pot after each use to prevent build-up of food residues or oils that can degrade the pot’s surface over time.
Dry the pot thoroughly after each wash to prevent water spots and rust.
2. Preventing Scratches and Damage
Avoid using metal utensils (spoons, forks, etc.) inside the pot as they can scratch the surface.
Opt for wooden, silicone, or plastic tools instead.
Store the pot with care. When stacking it with other pots or pans, place a soft cloth or paper towel between them to prevent scratches.
3. Maintain the Shine
Polish the stainless-steel surface regularly using a microfiber cloth to keep it looking new.
Use a specialized stainless-steel cleaner once a month to remove smudges and maintain its glossy appearance. (For Silver)
4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Do not use harsh cleaning chemicals such as bleach, chlorine, or oven cleaners on the pot, as these can damage the stainless-steel surface.
Natural cleaners like vinegar, lemon juice, and baking soda are effective and safe alternatives.
5. Store Properly
Store your stainless-steel pot in a dry, cool place. Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity or direct sunlight, as this could cause the surface to tarnish or discolor.
6. Protecting from Corrosion
Check for water spots: If your pot gets exposed to hard water, clean it regularly with vinegar or lemon to prevent mineral build-up that can lead to corrosion.
If the pot gets a bit of rust due to improper storage, gently rub the affected area with a soft cloth and a rust remover (or use vinegar) to restore the surface.
7. Keep an Eye on the Handles and Lid
Ensure that the handles are tightly secured. If you notice any loosening, tighten them gently to avoid any safety hazards.
If the pot comes with a lid, make sure the lid is also cleaned and dried properly to avoid mold or odor development.
