How to Remove Water Spots from a Glass Coffee Pot
It’s an annoying reality of owning a coffee pot — no matter how well you wash it, you eventually end up with water spots. Fortunately, removing them is much easier than you might think. Just use these simple tips and you’ll soon have your coffee pot looking as good as new.
Steps for Removing Water Spots
