In my previous home I stored old books and magazines in the basement and they got musty smelling. I put a fabric softener sheet in with them and the musty smell went away immediately.

What also works if to fill the bottom of the pot with hot water and sprinkle baking soda. Let soak and it will lift the cooked on food.

I had scorched/burnt milk in the bottom of my pan (went outside to feed cats and forgot the pan). I tried several different things and the burnt stuff would not come out. I soaked two bounce sheets in it and the pan is almost clean now! And what is left is coming out with a nylon scrubbie. Thanks for posting this - I was sure I would have to throw the pan away.

Okay well here is a quilting tip to use bounce with. You rub it all around the plate area of your sewing machine and when you machine quilt - the quilt slides real easy. ))

Baking soda will do the same trick, and without the VOCs.
