My Le Creuset manual specifically says NOT to use lemon or citrus acid to clean it. Honestly, their suggested method of baking soda and water on a simmer works! It takes a few goes, but we're talking about a pretty passive 30 mins TOPS, which I'm just waiting for the dishwasher stuff to finish anyway.
Hi Joseph! My manual for enameled cast iron cleaning care only says no abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. No mention of lemon juice…I also checked the website to confirm. I have been cleaning mine with hot lemon juice for years without issues! But that is great to know baking soda alone also works well!😊 appreciate your comment. Take care.
Thanks for the tip! I have also used vinegar before… but I find the lemon works better and gets my pots sparkling clean with less scrubbing than the vinegar! 🍋🍋😊 however, if I don’t have lemons on hand - I definitely would substitute with vinegar 😊!
