Can I ask how you cleaned it incorrectly so I can avoid the same? Got a LC recently

Yep aggressive scouring pads and cleanser. For years. Turns out: if the glazing is intact, boiling a little water with baking soda takes care of anything that gentle sponging with dawn wont get out.

In my case, using scouring pads and baking soda killed my glaze. We now use nylon brushes or non scratching scrubbing pads rarely.

Yeah, those green scrubbing pads or the sponges with the abrasive side are too abrasive for the enamel. Makes sense though, considering I can get the brown stains off the bottom of my aluminum pans with them and can smell the metal ha.
