How to Wash a Coffeepot With Rock Salt

If you own a coffee maker, chances are you use it at least once each day. Although you may clean your coffee pot every couple of days with dish soap and water, it needs a thorough monthly cleaning to stay in like-new condition. This is because most homeowners use tap water, which eventually leaves mineral deposits behind in your glass coffee pot. Fortunately, cleaning the pot with rock salt will break up the minerals, as well as any brown stains left behind in the coffee pot.

Blender
2 ice cube trays
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup rock salt
Distilled or purified water
Paper towel

Instructions

- 1
  Take out a blender and insert the ice cubes from two ice cube trays. Blend only until the ice cubes are about 1/3 of their original size. Don't make the pieces too small.
- 2
  Transfer the crushed ice cubes to your glass coffee pot. Add 1/2 cup of vinegar and 1/2 cup of rock salt.
- 3
  Swirl the mixture around inside the coffee pot for several minutes by holding on to the handle. There is no need to use a spoon to stir it. The swirling motion is enough to get the ice, vinegar and rock salt to do their jobs.
- 4
  Dump the contents of the coffee pot out and rinse it clean with either distilled or purified water.
- 5
  Dry the glass coffee pot off with a paper towel.
