Problem: How to clean a dutch oven
Stay away from steel wool.
Cleaning an enameled dutch oven after using it is simple, and only involves soap and hot water. You might need an abrasive scrub pad to remove pesky food residue, but the most important rule to follow is to avoid steel wool and other metallic pads or brushes.

Answer: Steel wool, wire brushes, and other metallic scrubbers can erode the enamel coating. Go for nonmetal options, like nylon.

Problem: How to keep your plants from dying
Choose potting soil that is formulated for indoors.
It can be tempting to use dirt from your yard or the same potting soil that you use outside; however, indoor plants have different needs than outdoor plants. Make sure that your soil is made for indoor plants because it will be lightly packed enough for the plants to grow while still tight enough to hold in the water.
Answer: Change your soil every year or two. You should also check to make sure that your plant does not require special soil, such as clay, loam, sand, or peat.
