Clean Your Glass Vases with Natural Products

To thoroughly clean glass vases, you can use natural products that you usually have at home. Therefore, you don’t need to spend a lot of money or use harsh or polluting chemicals.

Technique 1: Vinegar, Coffee Grounds, and Soap

Materials

• White vinegar
• Coffee grounds
• Degreasing soap
• Sponge
• Small saucepan
• Small container
• Spoon

Preparation

1. First, heat two tablespoons of vinegar in a small saucepan on the stove for a few seconds until it’s hot.
2. Then, add the coffee grounds to the vase and slowly add the hot vinegar.

5. Afterwards, rinse it with hot water until the vinegar and coffee are completely gone.
6. Then, wash the container with your dish soap and let it air dry.

5. The next morning, remove the contents and clean the vase with dish soap and anti-scale soap (especially if the water in your area is very hard). Then, rinse and dry it with a clean and soft cloth.
