cleaning enamel with lye?

[Mike Goulet]

Someone aboviously didn't care if this Le Creuset was enameled lol

 wondering if  a few short time dunks in  lye will loosen it up enough to clean or harm the finish

 thanks
Mike

Lye can/will etch porcelain.


Dawn Power Dissolver may work a bit, but I have seen the DPD cause cloudiness on porcelain also...

Thanks  Cheryl

I just realized this should be in the  cleaning section, so if you'd like to move it :)
