Cleaning Tips: Film inside coffee pot
Every coffee drinker knows how hard it is to get the coffee stains out of your coffee pot, so we’ve compiled some simple tasks which should reduce or even eliminate the task all together! Here are 4 tips the readers and writers of Pajama Mommy have used or have heard about to get those nasty stains out of our coffee pots!
1. Put some salt in the bottom of the coffee put, and add some ice cubes. Swirl the ice cube around, scraping the film off. Repeat if necessry.
2. Soak the pot in bleach and wash thoroughly before use.
3. Fill the coffee pot with 2 tablespoons of baking soda, hot water, and scrub!
4. Dissolve denture cleaning tablets in the pot as you would to clean your dentures.
We hope that these tips help you to make cleaning out your coffee pot a little bit easier!
Amanda,
Although these tips for removing the coffee pot stains may work fine, I have another way to clean the stains off the coffee pots (my hubby has been in the cleaning/restoration industry for over 25 years). He takes 1 cup of vinegar and fill the rest of the carafe with hot water and then filter it through cycle. Then leave the solution in the carafe for about an hour before rinsing it out to continue with some yummy coffee drinking.
Enjoy!

Oh that sounds great!
Great tips! Avoid the stains in the first place: rinse your carafe after each day’s use! Found you through Carnival of SAHM’s.
Really wonderful tips , thanks a lot!
I’m not sure if these tips have been passed on from one person to the next but I can tell you that the vinegar/hot water thing don’t work worth of crap. Then there were some tips where vinegar will take other things off as well…but let me tell you. I’ve tried all the vinegar trick there is and nothing ever mentioned worked involving vinegar.
Now the bleach in the cofee pot works great. But trying to get the bleach out afterwards might be tricky…I’ve washed and washed over and over again…and I smell something strange. I will keep at it though.
Haha thank you so much! The stains on my coffee pot bother me each morning when I see them but I have never successfully done anything about it!!
