DEC ANTER CLE ANING
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter. Coffee and tea discolor these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the decanter. To remove these stains, follow these simple steps:
1.Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
2.Let solution stand in decanter for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3.Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. These may cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
