Decanter cleaning
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter.
Coffee discolors these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain
inside the decanter. To remove these stains, follow these simple steps:
1.
Pour warm white vinegar in the decanter and let soak for 20 minutes.
2. Discard the vinegar, Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using
a
soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. They will cause
scratches which can lead to breakage.
