- I'm in the process of bleaching the coffee pot.
- Granted, my coffee pot has only been used a handful of times... however, the last time my mother was here, she made her morning coffee before she left.
- Kindly, she left me coffee.
- Unfortunately, I forgot about it until one day the coffee pot actually growled as I passed by it.
- Being one of a weak stomach, I decided it would be better to let the creature die of starvation before I tackled it.
- Because frankly... coffee pots are CHEAP!!
- Besides... corpses are easier to dispose of than live kicking, biting, possibly toxic creatures!!
- Now the creature is DEAD and I'm trying to salvage the pot so Mom & Dad can have coffee when they get here.
- Oh don't groan... I've seen my mother clean up a coffee pot far worse than this one was.
- And though I never wanted to drink coffee from it, it never seemed to phase her one bit!
Okay, maybe I don't get bonus points becase it's my own stinking fault it mutated in the first place. But seriously... I cleaned it. I didn't just wait for the Queen to come rescue it. I actually cleaned it!! You don't even have a clue...

I've cleaned nasty coffee pots before. Yuck. It's amazing though what a little elbow grease (and salt) will do.
Oh. I have been there. I have seen a demoned coffee carafe (or whatever they call the glass thingie-ma-boppers that capture the trickling liquid caffeine.
But, they can be cleaned. Bleach and rinse around, and around all the stain and then leave. Possibly with a cloth on top to hold more of the potency in.
And, never thought of salt for that? But, celticbuffy makes an awesome point! Because salt is "abrasive." :-D
mix salt and bleach and see what happens. That sounds like a fabulously toxic beverage....for cleaning, I mean.
Of course. [smiley-wink]
old barmaid tip.. to clean the inside of a glass coffee pot.
half full of ice cubes.. a small amount of water... just enough to swish....and salt....
now... swish it around.... keep doing it... don't stop.... ok... dump and rinse.. replace.... and head home.. the bar is clean;..
We always got a free drink while we were cleaning the bar...we always did this while we were finishing up our drinks.. it really does work
