Le Creuset's recommended stain-removal solution: 1 teaspoon of bleach per 1 pint of water.
The outcome: The pots were slightly improved but still far from their original hue.
Stronger, improved solution (ok'd by the manufacturer): 1 part bleach to 3 parts water. After standing over-night, a lightly stained pot was just as good as new, but a heavily stained one required an additional night of soaking before turning the stained pots back to blonde.
