Denture tabs work great  I made the mistake of using Clorox years ago  Clorox cleaned it completely but ruined the ability to keep coffee hot. I noticed my coffee only stayed warm for an hour or two, so I checked the box and it warned to never use bleach

The polident worked great, but I had to do it 3 or 4 times to get all the gunk out. These thermoses were over 20 yrs old, and the layers of crap that came out looked like peeling paint.

I use a product called Dip-It. It's a powder. You put about a tablespoon of it in either a coffee pot, Thermos, or mug, fill with boiling water and let it sit for about half hour then rinse. Makes it look like brand new.

I will also vouch for Dip-It, stuff works great! When I lived in Germany the water was very hard and would get a build up on my coffee pot in nothing flat. Would use the Dip-It liquid and the pot would be like new. Well worth the money!

| Quote, originally posted by cranks » | | I've been doing this for years and thought today I should share my tip. To clean out your yucky thermos (just look inside it and you will be scared), water bottles, camel baks, etc. Put a couple of denture cleaner tablets in the container with water and let it sit over night. In the morning scrub it out. A toilet brush works well on a thermos because it has a longer handle. Just don't grab the one from the bathroom

sounds good cept the toilet brush part,even a new one its just the thought of it JOHN202 JOHN202

Several years ago I filled my stainless thermos with boiling water and added some clorox bleach, I am not sure how much I just poured some in it. The mistake I made was that I put the top on it and set it aside. I did this before I went to the office and when I came home at lunch, the top had been blown off. It put a big dent in the sheetrock ceiling and made a real mess. To this day I don't know how or why it happened. I am sure there was some tremendous pressure that built up and blew the top off but the threads were still in tact. Since then I have used "Dip It" cleaner. I am out at this time and would like to get some more. Where are you buying it?

We use Brew-Rite Cleaner. It's fairly inexpensive, works great and is readily available at most local Walmart stores.
