Flask Cleaning

[John Walker]

just a quick and maybe useful tip if your having problems eradicating stains and / or odour from your stainless steel flask, fill it halway up with Coca Cola then give it a good shake up, after a while fill the flask completely, this will bring it up odour free and clean as a whistle, just a tip i picked up, some meat plants clean the salt injection systems using it

i use a tablespoon of bicarbonate soda and a dish washer tablet and fill with boiling water. I couldn't believe the stuff thats comes off the first time i did this so i now do it more regulary

Stredent for me.
Took the wife years to work out what they were doing in the cupboard when I still have a full set of nashers.
(See is now corrctly trained in the extraction of old teabags and placing said flask in the dishwasher)

1 teaspoon of Citric acid, fill with water, shake, leave overnight, rinse out in morning, job done!
It is the phosphoric acid in cola drinks that does it.

hot water & steradent, you cant go wrong.

 

[Bill Walford]

two table spoons of soda crystals and hot water, leave for a couple of hours a quick brush with a bottle brush and hey presto...cheap as chips also !!!

Diswasher liquid and boiling water (left overnight) usually does the trick for me.

Thats simply outrageous cleaning a flask, i rather think of it as malt whisky barrel, its just not on imo....

I just fill it with boiling water and carry T bags and milk in my snap box, fresh cuppas every time, and no ucky flask to clean, just bung it back in the cupboard when I get home, plus if I fancy a variation such as Oxo , or some dehydrated stuff such as pot noodle, (food of the devil ) etc, I can make it without carrying another flask.
