How to Clean a Coffee Pot with Baking Soda
Are you looking for an easy way to clean your coffee pot? Making the switch to baking soda is the perfect solution! Not only is it a quick and easy way to clean your pot, but baking soda is a natural, non-toxic product so it’s good for the environment too! Here’s how to clean your coffee pot with baking soda:
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1 quart (32 ounces) warm water
- A clean dish cloth
Step 2: Empty the Pot
Empty out any remaining coffee grounds and water from your coffee pot. Make sure the pot is completely drained of all liquid.
Step 3: Add the Baking Soda and Water
Mix together the baking soda and warm water in the empty pot. Be sure to dissolve all of the baking soda.
Step 4: Soak
Soak the coffee pot in the baking soda mixture for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the baking soda to work its magic and help remove any stains or built up residue.
Step 5: Rinse and Dry
Rinse off the pot and then dry it using the clean dish cloth. Once your pot is dry, it should be shiny and clean!
Bonus Tips
- Repeat the Process: If your coffee pot is really stained or dirty, you may need to repeat the process several times.
- Don’t Use Vinegar: Vinegar is often used as a cleaning agent, but it shouldn’t be used to clean a coffee pot—it can leave a sour taste in your coffee.
Using baking soda to clean your coffee pot is a quick and easy way to make sure your pot is clean and free of stains. Give it a try and you’ll never want to use any other cleaning method!
