Pot/Pan Cleaning Question

I’m not sure how bleach affects magnalites. But bleach is just a sanitizer. It won’t get the dirt or turds off better. Just use soap and water. Then if you’re worried about bacteria, boil water in the pot on the stove. Problem solved.

I wouldn’t recommend bleach or dishwasher unless you do an internet search to see if it’s ok for magnalite.

Don’t think you are supposed to soak them for long or put them in dishwasher

When I was young and stupid(er), I used to put my big Magnalite skillet in the dishwasher, ignoring my mother’s advice. It is a pitted mess. Luckily, I didn’t do that to my other pieces. Don’t do that.

clean it with soap and water and stiff brush, then fill it with water boil that shite for a good 20 minutes, rinse and you should be good.

the S&W w/ stiff brush should take care of all the turd bits and visible dirt. The boiling water will kill whatever bacteria you may be worried about.

I wouldn't put bleach in the pot. I think you're over thinking it. Plus, in the course of your life you've probably ingested more than a handful of rat turds unknowingly, especially if you've ever eaten at a french quarter restaurant at any time in your life.
