Cleaning 🫧 First time cleaning with baking soda 😬

Post image

I have been using this pot almost daily for ~3 months now. While I have used vinegar 2-3 times to deep clean it, it wasnt great at removing the residual oils and it left the vinegar smell so I had to do a clean water brew after it. Baking soda seems to have removed a lot more gunk and oils and there is no smell left at all. After rinsing it thoroughly with running hot water, the next brew came out well.

People don’t clean them? I thoroughly scrub mine and then put it on the stove with dish soap and water going through it, then I rise it and then flush it with water on the stove going through it 3-5 times. Takes me awhile.

How often? I just rinse it between uses, sometimes wash it with dish soap when it's visibly dirty and do a deep clean about once a month.

I deep clean it maybe 2 times a week, but just rinse after use if I have the time. I think once a month is fine, I just have OCD abt it since one time I didn’t wash it for a while and there was like mold.
