How do you clean a metal thermos?

To clean a metal thermos, put vinegar and baking soda in the thermos, and fill it with boiling water. Allow the mixture to cool, then gently scrub the thermos with a bottle brush, rinse with water and allow to dry.

1. Combine vinegar and baking soda in the thermos

   Use 2 tablespoons of white or apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of baking soda for every cup the thermos holds.

2. Fill the thermos with boiling water

   Fill the thermos to the top with boiling water. Do not place the cap on the thermos. Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes.

3. Scrub the inside of the thermos with a bottle brush

   Gently scrub the thermos with a bottle brush, which can be found in the baby department of most chain stores.

4. Rinse the thermos and allow it to dry

   Rinse out the thermos, and dry it upside down to make sure no liquid pools in the bottom of the thermos.
