Cleaning Stained Anodised Iron pans help

Options
Hi,

i have some Anodised Iron pans which have white marks on them. I'm not sure if the stain is limescale or salt I was a bit of a wally and put them in the dishwasher.

Does anyone know if & how I can restore them.

Thanks

    I was talking to squeaky this morning and he suggested giving them a quick wash in ordinary detergent, or wipe with a damp cloth with or without vinegar as it's probably only limescale. It may be an idea to check your salt and rinse aid to stop it happening again.

    thank you,

    I'll try the vinegar, I've been handwashing them for a while now and it hasn't gone. Once they have dried out they go all white and cloudy again.

    Hiya

    Im saving up ATM for a set of anodised pans from John Lewis. They are not normally suitable for the dishwasher and need to be hand washed. Not sure why though-maybe the coating:confused:
