Cleaning your flask.

[carpinbob]

Bi-carb of soda is the way to go , used it for years absolutely great for cleaning a flask.

I looked into my flask yesterday and decided it really did need a clean. Tried a bottle cleaning brush and cillit bang but was hard work and only a partial success.
Any other ideas that really work?

I use half a dishwasher tablet/ full one if really dirty, hemp, oats etc. Drop half tablet in the flask, pour boiling water on it and leave overnight. If you are feeling a bit squeamish next morning don't look at what's floating on the top.

Dennis, are you saying hemp and oats or just one OR the other.
Interesting combo, will bear that one in mind .

I always rinse out with hot water after use .

then everuy now and then use one of those steel wool buds a small one pu it in the flask half filled with boiling water put top on and give a good shaking for 5 mins then open and empty out clean as a whistle , I dont use any chemical cleansers in my flask i find it taints them .
I think the secret is Boiling hot water .
