Have you ever thought of your coffee pot as a habitat for germs? Well, it probably is.
When is the last time you cleaned your water reservoir? Think about it. It’s dark and wet in there. Perfect habitat for things to grow. UGH! Sounds super gross, huh?
Never fear. You can still enjoy that cup of delicious coffee without thinking about germ habitats.
If you still have your manufacturer’s cleaning instructions, clean your water reservoir that way. If you are like me and threw the owner’s manual out years ago, follow these easy cleaning instructions.
- Pour 4 cups of vinegar in the reservoir.
- Let the vinegar set for 30 minutes.
- Turn the coffee pot on and let the vinegar run through.
- Follow the vinegar with water until the vinegar smell is gone.
The cleaning gurus out there recommend cleaning your water reservoir every month.
Vinegar can be used to clean many areas of your home.
Do you start your day with a cup of coffee? What’s your favorite brand?
