Man shares genius no-scrub hack for cleaning burnt-on grime off pots and pans

There's nothing worse than dealing with burnt-on grime on your pots and pans when it's time to wash the dishes after cooking dinner.

But thankfully there are ways to get them looking as good as new, and the best part is you won't have to spend hours scrubbing to get the results.

Armen Adamjan, who goes by the name creative_explained on TikTok, has a genius hack for cleaning burnt pans, and all you need is a dryer sheet.

"Burnt Pot Cleaning Hack," he captioned the video, which has been watched over 696,000 times.

"When you cook and you end up with a pot or a pan that looks like this and you don't want to scrub it clean, here's what you do," he said in the clip.

The method is so simple — it's basically set and forget.

Fill the pan or pot with some water, add a few squirts of dish soap and lay a dryer sheet or two in the bottom of the pan. How many sheets you need will depend on the size of the pot or pan that needs cleaning.

"Let it sit for one hour," he advised.

"An hour later check it out, boom, comes right off, crazy. No more scrubbing."

The results are incredible and the baked-on gunk wipes right off, leaving the pot sparkling like new. His followers loved the tip.

"Thanks!! My daughter in law burns her pots all the time," commented on TikToker.

Another commented, "What??? Game changer!"

"I tried this the other day. Worked like a charm," wrote another user.

"Been doing this for a few years and it's fantastic. My mil [mother in law] couldn't believe it when she tried it!" added another.

There's a reason dryer sheets are great for this.

Donna Smallin Kuper, author of 'Cleaning Plain & Simple, told the Today in the US that it's likely the conditioning properties of the dryer sheet being released into the water that help to remove the gunk.

Fabric conditioner makes your clothes feel and smell fantastic, but the tumble dryer sheets work the same on the baked-on food and soften it all up. That's why it's so easy to just wipe it off.

If you don't have dryer sheets lying around at home, this mum has another insanely easy method for cleaning burnt pans.
