How to Clean a Stained Glass Coffee Pot
Stained glass coffee pots are classic beauty pieces often known as French presses. Over time, however, natural residue can build up on these coffee pots, and it is important to clean them in order to maintain the beauty of the glass. Here are some tips for how to clean a stained glass coffee pot:
Step 1: Rinse and Soak
First, take the pot apart and rinse it in warm, soapy water. Make sure to get at every part of the pot and scrub corrosive spots using a soft-bristled brush. Next, fill a large container with hot water and add 1/2 cup of baking soda. Place the pot pieces in the solution and let them soak for 1-2 hours.
Step 2: Scrub and Rinse Again
After the pot pieces have had time to soak in the baking soda solution, take them out and scrub any corrosion spots. Use a soft-bristled brush or cloth to remove any residue gently. When finished, rinse the pot pieces in warm water and then set aside to dry.
Step 3: Apply Rubbing Alcohol
Once the pot has dried, apply rubbing alcohol to a clean cloth and wipe down the entire pot. This will help remove any stubborn residue and give the pot a nice shine.
Step 4: Reassemble and Enjoy!
Once the pot is clean, reassemble it and enjoy a freshly brewed cup of coffee!
