    I can usually get them off with vinegar and a microfiber cloth.

    People swear by white vinegar.

    If that doesn’t work, buy Food grade hydrogen peroxide at a health food store.

    It must be diluted and is caustic when undiluted. Wear gloves.


    FG hydrogen peroxide is a great bleaching mechanism for antique dishes that have “checked” finishes that show dark cracks. Grandma’s china coffee cups now are perfect again. ☺️

    pour qt of vinegar in coffee maker run it thru then run thru 2 more clean water pots;if it's really bad run the hot vinegar from first pot thru it just don't add the sediment from bottom of pot that came thru/out. rinse 2-3 times with clean water. Use the hot vinegar on soft cloth to clean outside of pot and coffeee maker also makes great drain opener /cleaner so put in garbage disposal/tub/toilet or inside dishwasher/wash machine and run on hot cycle; even on weeds in yard
