DIY Solution for Cleaning Pot Lids with Glass and Metal Edges (2023 Update)

Sure, it sounds like you have some buildup of mineral deposits and possibly some discoloration on the edges of your pot lids. This can happen when hard water evaporates and leaves behind minerals, or if the lids haven't been cleaned properly. Here's a simple solution to get rid of those "thingies":

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle.
Spray the solution generously on the affected areas of the lids.
Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
Use a scrub brush or a sponge with a scouring pad to gently scrub the edges.
Rinse the lids thoroughly with water and dry them with a clean cloth.

If the buildup is still present, you may repeat these steps or try using a descaling solution specifically made for removing mineral buildup.

When it comes to cleaning your lids, it's best to do it regularly to prevent buildup in the future. You may also want to consider using a water softener to reduce the amount of minerals in your water.

Keep in mind that if the lids are not dishwasher safe, it is best to hand-wash them.

If you have any doubts or something is not clear, feel free to ask for more information.
