How can i clean a tefal non stick frypan?

cooking-mama

Got a set of 2 tefal non-stick pans..the largest(used less often),is still in pretty good condition,and the red circle in the middle is clearly visible,but the smaller ones,used for eggs,omelettes etc,isnt looking so good...its as tho there is a thick non tangible film over it all..the red circle in the middle can barely be seen,tho the non stick hasnt come off..it just seems to be "covered"...I soaked it overning in a paste of bicarb of soda,but that didnt help...ive soaked it in boiling water and fairy washing up lqd...no help...any other hints or tips i could try?

Farway

You could try soaking using a bio detergent, not usre if it will do the job but I have found the bio stuff gets rid of biological items, like burnt on food for instance

May need a good long overnight or longer soak

I have found they go like that over time, it isn't dirt. Never managed to get rid of it on mine, so please let me know if you find a way!

My mum had the same problem and phoned the saucepan manufacturer who advised to put bio detergent and water in the pan and boil/simmer for a few hours which did the trick

Thanks felineprincess,il leave it steeping overnight,then boil it up in the morning and see what happens.

Well that seems to have worked a bit...but now how do i get rid of the washing liquid smell from the pan.lol...
boiling it made a lovely air freshener,the house smells lovely,but so does the pan.
ive tried boiling again with Soda Bic in it..but still smells of Mandarin and Lime Daz!

Add some vinegar or lemon juice diluted in water. Bring it to the boil for a few minutes then rinse well under a cold tap.
