How to Clean Glass Coffee Pot Stains
Coffee makers are a staple in almost any kitchen, but they can get stained quickly and be difficult to clean. Glass coffee makers are made of tough glass and can get stained with residue from frequent use. Cleaning the glass and removing the stains take some know-how, but can be done quickly and easily. Here are some tips on how to clean glass coffee pot stains.
Tools Needed
- Sponge to scrub the glass
- White vinegar to help break down the residue and clean the glass
- Baking soda to help remove the most difficult stains
- Toothbrush to scrub tight, hard to reach places
- Damp cloth to wipe down the glass after scrubbing
How to Clean Glass Coffee Pot Stains
- Begin by filling the glass coffee pot with hot water and a few tablespoons of white vinegar. Allow it to sit for 15 minutes.
- Use a sponge to scrub the glass and wipe away any residue. If the stains are stubborn, sprinkle baking soda on the stained areas and let the water sit for an extra 10 minutes.
- Once the water has cooled, use a toothbrush to scrub the inside of the pot. Pay special attention to any tight spots where the stain residue may be more difficult to remove.
- When finished scrubbing, empty the glass of vinegar/water and rinse off with warm water. Wipe off the glass with a damp cloth.
- Repeat this process as needed until all stains are removed.
Tips & Warnings
- Be sure to use a separate toothbrush for the coffee pot, so it’s not used on any other kitchen items.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners such as steel wool pads, as this can cause scratches on the glass.
