How to Get Stains Out of a Glass Coffee Pot
A glass coffee pot can be an attractive and useful item in your kitchen, but unfortunately these pots can become stained over time. If your pot has acquired an unsightly stain, fortunately you can take measures to remove it. Here are the steps for how to get stains out of a glass coffee pot:
Step 1: Make a Vinegar-Based Solution
Mix together one part white vinegar and two parts warm water into a spray bottle. Make sure you shake the bottle to ensure the solution is well mixed before using it.
Step 2: Prepare the Coffee Pot for Cleaning
Remove any leftover coffee grounds, tea leaves and filters from the pot. Then fill it up with the vinegar solution and let it sit for at least 20 minutes.
Step 3: Scrub Away Stains
Once the 20 minutes are up, scrub away the stains with a clean, damp cloth or paper towel. You may need to repeat this several times to remove the stains completely.
Step 4: Rinse the Pot
Once all of the stains are gone, rinse the pot thoroughly with warm water.
Step 5: Repeat if Necessary
If the stains still remain, you can repeat these steps as necessary until they are removed.
Tips for Stashing Stains:
- Use a soft-bristled brush: A soft-bristled brush will help to remove stubborn stains while still being gentle on the pot.
- Fill with baking soda: To make the cleaning process even easier, you can fill the pot with baking soda before you add the vinegar solution. The baking soda will help to loosen the stains.
- Use a power washer: If you have a power washer, you can also use it to clean the coffee pot. Just make sure you use the correct pressure and distance from the pot to avoid damage.
By following these steps, you can keep your glass coffee pot looking clean and clear for many years to come.
