I am curious to know how you do this. My poor $8 Walmart coffeemaker was looking a little rough up until yesterday. Rather than buying a new one...I sort of cleaned it out. I brewed water through it, and then I brewed half vinegar and half water and then I did another pot of water. It seems better now for sure. Someone was telling me yoi can use lemon juice and ice cubes. Other folks told me Im not supposed to turn the coffee pot ON with vinegar inside (too late lol). What do you do? And how often do you do this? Happy Monday all!

Vinegar is the most used chemical and then lemon. These two can be used for washing almost anything.

I usually just rinse it with fairy liquid and lots of warm water. Hope you manage to clean yours :(

I am not sure how to clean a coffee pot, because I don't use any. I think I have heard about using salt to scrub, I am not sure if that works. Hope you will not need to get a new one, but find a way to clean it.

I clean mine with water and vinegar and i run it thru atleast 4 times but only do the vinegar twice and the rest just plain water. It also helps get the stench out of it as well.
