Let the hot water rest inside the pot for an hour, and then simply pour it out in the sink. Be sure to rinse out the pot several times with water to get out any lingering detergent. That’s really all it takes.

This is an easy, safe way to clean the coffee pot with little time, effort, or money spent. Molly Maid also has more maid service tips on how to clean the kitchen between Molly Maid house cleaning visits.
