aside to cool.
2. Rinse the interior of the airpot with hot water. Use
a sponge-head bottle clearner to remove any loose
debris or mineral deposits. Rinse again with hot

5. Put the lid on and dispense some of the
vinegar solution out of the spout. This will
clear the spout of any build up.
6. Take off the lid again and rub the interior
with a sponge-head bottle cleaner. Pour out
the vinegar solution and rinse the airpot
thoroughly with hot water
7. Pour hot water into the airpot and
dispense it trough the spout to remove all
traces of vinegar
8. Use a slight damp microfiber cloth to
wipe the lid and exterior of the airpot. Wipe
it dry afterwards. If the exterior has stains,
put one or two drops of mild detergent on
the cloth and wipe the exterior. Wipe off the
detergent using a damp cloth, and then
