Just trying to be specific.

Try cream cleaner or maybe try gently using fine steel wool. (try on a small area first)

Thanks! I'll give cream cleaner a try.

Rubbing alcohol is your friend here.

>>8169638
dish soap and hot water
the jif, or cif or what ever its fucking called these days to polish it up.

Maybe try Bar Keeper's friend (try on a small surface)

Tried rubbing alcohol and dish soap. No dice.
Will definitely try cream cleaner though, thanks.

Toilet bowl cleaner. Wear gloves, scrub it in, let it set for 10-30 minutes and wash thoroughly with dishsoap after. Make sure it's the kind with 9%+ HCL.

It's got a beige enamel coating, so I wouldn't scrub it with something scatchy like a brillo pad (which is what I'd use on corningware or pyrex that have oven seared oil like that). I'd leave it nice and ugly to preserve the coating. It's got the oven baked kind of thing from decades of oil spritzes.

Do not clean the inside other than with soap and water on a sponge. If it hasn't been used in a while, it could have sticky rancid oil residue inside, but that can be cleaned off, and then a throwaway first waffle.

If it really bothers you, you need to wipe it with oven cleaner, being careful not to get the inside. If the coating doesn't bug you if it comes off, you want bartenders friend, or brillo pads with soap. Also there are several grades of Magic Eraser.

don't rub it with steel wool you will ruin the coating. First, reassamble the plates and nuke them in dishwasher on highest temperature. Take warm not very damp cloth and use cream cleaner. Leave it to soak up a bit then try rubbing it with vigor

Thanks for the detailed response. I would indeed like to preserve the coating, so I won't use brillo pads or steel wool.

>>8169638
the staining is baked on grease and oil.
like the seasoning on a cast iron pan.

If you can take it apart without destroying, run it through a dish washer on hot.
Failing that use a strong solvent. Like acetone, toluene, sulphuric acid or 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine

>>8169932
don't use toluene lol. acetone is fine and sulfuric acid also but use after it a ton of water to rinse it thoroughly

Too many weak ass suggestions in here. Soapy water aint gunnu do shit.

Get yourself some D9 oven cleaner. Youll have it looking like new within 15 minutes, no effort required.

Use the most toxic cleaner you can find, because fuck the environment.

why not just buy a new one

Try barkeepers friend.
