Coffee is a must-have daily treat , especially when you wake up early in the morning!
There are those who prefer to adopt modern measures and prepare it with a pod machine, while traditionalists prefer the mocha method .
In fact, the latter remains an always appreciated remedy despite new technologies. For this reason, it must be taken care of and not damaged over time.
That’s why today we are going to discover together how to effectively remove oxidation simply by using a spoon!
Baking soda
Let’s start with an ingredient that is adding more and more reasons to be among our home remedies.
Baking soda has a unique versatility that is why I recommend it even if the mocha has oxidized.
You will need to fill a container with hot water and dissolve 1 heaped tablespoon of baking soda in it , then submerge the mocha pieces and let them soak for 3/4 hours.
Then go and rinse the mocha well, removing all the stuck-on residue.
Vinegar
Vinegar also goes hand in hand with baking soda in the world of the best natural remedies to get rid of rust.
You can enjoy it in a few simple steps: pour half a glass of product into a bowl with hot water and soak the mocha.
Also in this case, at least 4 or 5 hours will have to pass before all the dirt can be effectively dissolved.
Then rinse it with hot water and remember to make at least 2 empty coffees , otherwise you will smell the vinegar.
yellow soap
Mainly used in the washing machine, yellow soap is our ally even in case of brown stains on steel or silver, in fact it is also used for other objects such as the Pandora bracelet.
This method is very simple! Take a tablespoon of the product and spread it on a sponge that is not too abrasive, rub it on the mocha and leave it to act for half an hour.
Then you should rub again and rinse with warm water, making sure to remove all the oil released by the soap.
It will be like new!
Marseille soap
Another soap that is undoubtedly one of our favorite solutions is Marseille !
However, you should keep in mind that its fragrance is very intense, so do not overdo it with the amount of product you use to renew the mocha.
Just 1 tablespoon of flakes in a bowl of warm water will be enough to obtain a good result, let it soak for 2 or 3 hours and then rinse several times.
When you have finished, before preparing empty coffees, I advise you to leave the pieces in the open air so that the smell “fades”.
Lemon juice
The last trick you can keep in mind to say goodbye to blackened mocha is lemon juice!
Its degreasing power is increasingly recognized and it is also a food that we always find in our homes, so why not take advantage of it?
Pour 1 glass of lemon juice into a bowl filled with hot water and place the mocha pieces inside overnight.
The next day, scrub with a sponge to remove any residue and rinse several times.
Warnings
Remember to prepare empty coffees before using the mocha again and test the remedies in inconspicuous corners first.
