1. CLEANING MAINTENANCE OF TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT
Mild dish soap and hot water clean most baking utensils and
equipment as effectively as any cleaning product.
Always line baking sheets with parchment paper before using it. “the
black stain of the bake-in sugar wont easily scrub off, some
equipment, such as Baking Stones, Pastry Brushes, Wood Rolling
Pins, need a different approach”.
Anything Stainless Steel can go in the dishwater or you can clean it
with soap and water.

2. Store Baking Equipment in dry cupboard
Store Baking Utensils in a kitchen drawer or Utensil holder
Scrape any dough from the rolling pin using a wooden or plastic scraper,
and wipe it down with hot water. Dry it with a towel. Rub down the pin with
mineral once or twice a month, depending on use, for increased longevity.
If you're concerned about bacteria, mix 1 teaspoon of bleach with 1 quart
of water; wipe down the pin with the solution and let it air dry.

3. Stains are common on baking stones, and like other stoneware, they
develop a layer of polymerized fat over time that creates a nonstick
surface. First, staining is normal; you usually only need to scrape off
debris and wipe it down with hot water for tougher cleaning jobs, use
a wire-bristled brush and a little hot water. If the stone develops an
uneven surface after a few years, lightly sand it with medium-grit
sandpaper and wipe it clean.
 Wash pastry brushes in the dishwasher if you can -- it's the most
effective method for removing oil and odor. If you don't have a
dishwasher, wash the brush in hot soapy water several times and
rinse. Soak the brush in a standard bleach solution for 15 minutes to
sanitize it.
