Coffee has become an inseparable part of many people's daily routine. Not without reason, this drink can provide the energy boost needed to start the day. On the other hand, liking to drink coffee sometimes brings its own problems, especially if this drink is often packaged in a thermos.

To be clear, coffee grounds in thermos bottles can be an annoying problem. Remaining coffee grounds are often difficult to remove, especially if they have entered a thermos bottle with a narrow neck. This problem not only affects the quality of the next drink, but can also leave unpleasant odors and stubborn stains.

If left alone, coffee grounds trapped in the thermos bottle can stick to the cooler and form a layer that is difficult to clean. In some cases, the coffee grounds can even become crusty, you know. So, the crust and coffee grounds must be cleaned immediately so that the thermos bottle can be used.

However, cleaning a thermos bottle that is covered in scale and coffee grounds requires special attention. A bottle brush with long, strong bristles is often the best solution for getting into the tightest corners. Unfortunately, not everyone can get this special brush easily.

But there's no need to worry, there is a simple method you can use if you want to remove scale and coffee grounds from thermos bottles. An Instagram user @ummanuh_ shared how to clean a thermos bottle with rice. The account owner uses rice instead of a brush to clean scale and coffee grounds in thermos bottles.

So that the stains can be removed completely, he also admits to using a cleaning agent, namely dish washing soap. How to use it: Put enough rice directly into the thermos. Then add dish soap and water. If so, close the thermos bottle and shake it for a few minutes.

Next, open the thermos bottle cap. Then remove all the contents inside. The final step, rinse the thermos thoroughly under running water. Make sure there is no soap and rice residue still attached, okay?
