Default Removing burnt on carbon from non-stick fryin g pan

The idea of a non stick surface, ie ptfe, is that nothing sticks to it, by
definition, if stuff sticks to it then the surface is at best pitted at
worst coming off, yes you can remove stuff, but ultimately it will come off
in food or just be not very non stick any more. Its like what happens to
enamelled baths like mine. Fine for many years but eventually rough since
the surface has been pitted.

I'm looking for recommendations from people who have successfully tried
the solution (if any). :-)

Over a period of time a non-stick frying pan has gradually accumulated
more and more carbon.

Internet search turns up the main fix as white vinegar boiled in the pan,
then baking soda added.

Salt has also been mentioned.

I wondered about using oven cleaner as a far more aggressive approach.

Anyway, any tried and tested remedies?
[Buying a new pan is out of scope. Likewise not burning anything on in the
first place.]

Cheers
