Cleaning Coffee Thermos Carafe

RE: Cleaning Coffee Thermos Carafe Post by barstowhst (1) | (11/06/2008) Contact When cleaning Thermos products, never use bleach or harsh detergent; a mild dishwashing liquid is sufficient. Use a damp washcloth or sponge to clean the exterior of lunchboxes or Thermos mugs, and rinse mugs after each use with warm water-if beverages have been in the mug for hours, soaking the mug for a few minutes is best to keep the mug fresh for further use.

As you swish it around, you can see the coffee coming off in layers until it is sparkling clean. Only need to do once a month or when it begins to stain. Rinse thoroughly with hot water.

Shake it till it came clean, which didn't take too long.

Works for my coffee/tea cups. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Coffee Thermos Carafe Post By Mike (Guest Post) (01/03/2008) I use automatic dishwasher detergent. Before I read about this tip, I had a difficult time keeping the thermos clean. The first time I used this method, I had to soak the thermos several times to clean it -- it was pretty disgusting to see how dirty it was all that time. Once a week, I sprinkle about one tablespoon of DW detergent in a stainless steal one quart thermos and add enough hot water to fill. After putting the lid on tightly, I shake it gently and let it soak for about an hour or more. I turn it upside down for half the time to make sure both top and bottom get cleaned. Rinse thoroughly with water and let air dry upside down. The thermos is used weekly for coffee, so during the week, I rinse it thoroughly and drain overnight.

No scrubbing necessary! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Coffee Thermos Carafe Post By jean (Guest Post) (12/30/2007) You could try using hot water and 1-2 denture cleaning tablets. Dissolve the tablets in the carafe, let sit overnight, then wash and rinse as usual. This works well on my thermos.

I would put a bit in the container, place the lid back on & shake, shake, shake. Afterwards, I would empty & rinse well with hot water. A vinegar & water combo would more than likely do the trick as well. I hope this works. Marla http://forgetmenotaromas.com - Our fragrances leave lasting impressions. Report Spam or Abuse
