“Scrub” a coffeepot with rice!

Coffeepot stained or cloudy? “First, mix half a cup of vinegar and half a cup of water and run it through the coffeemaker, or bring it to a boil in the pot,” Johnson says. Next, add a few tablespoons of uncooked rice to the pot and swirl it around with the vinegar mixture—the rice kernels will “scrub” the sides ’til they’re crystal clear!
