cleaning thermos flask

Hi all,

has anyone got any ideas as how to clean the inside of a thermos refill?

I have just emptied out the remnants of the coffee from toady, and there is this horrible flaky solidified coffe lining the inside of the refill.

any ideas?

P.S I dont have a scrubbing brush and am feeling lazy! lol:p:p:rotfl::T:j

    next time you use an egg, save the shell, crush it up, and add to the flask with an inch or 2 of water
    replace cork, and shake, rinse out
    it will take all the staining etc from the flask, and leave it with a brilliant shine
  • I use half a dishwasher table with hot water, put stopper back on give it a shake then leave for 24 hours. Comes out spotless. Make sure you give it a good rinse or your flask contents taste of soap.
  • I will give all of these a try till one of them works! Many many thanks to all of you!!!::j:T
