Coffee pots are often well utilized for making coffee, yet neglected when it comes to cleaning. Glass coffee pots become stained from being left on a coffeemaker's burner with little or no coffee in them, or from the residue that accumulates over time. White vinegar, as a cleaning agent, can restore your stained or dingy glass coffeepot to a shiny, sparkling vessel from which you will be proud to pour coffee.

Step 2
Pour distilled white vinegar over the top of the baking soda, until the baking soda is covered with vinegar.
Step 3
Allow the chemical reaction to take place between the vinegar and baking soda, and gently swirl the mixture around in the pot to remove any stains. Use a sponge to wipe down the inside surface of the pot.
Step 4
Pour the cleaning mixture into the sink, and wash the coffee pot with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a lint-free towel.
Removing Stubborn Stains
Step 1
Fill the coffee pot with full strength distilled white vinegar.
Step 2
Allow the vinegar to sit in the pot overnight.
Step 3
Pour the vinegar into a clean container, and wash the coffee pot with hot water and soap.
Step 4
Repeat steps 1 to 3, by re-using the vinegar from step 2, if the stains are not fully removed. This process can be repeated as many times as needed.
