1. Clean with effervescent tablets
Pour clean water into the decanter, add a denture cleaning effervescent tablet, soak overnight, and rinse with water the next day. It is recommended not to buy aroma type effervescent tablets to avoid affecting the use of the decanter in the future, which may cause the wine to have a "strange odor".
2. Use lemon juice or vinegar
Pour lemon juice or white vinegar into the decanter, add water to a level that leaves no trace, soak overnight, and wash with water the next day until the acidity completely disappears.
3. Using salt and ice cubes
If the decanter is relatively hard, you can try cleaning it with salt and crushed ice. Sprinkle salt and crushed ice into the decanter, gently shake the decanter until the stains disappear, then rinse with clean water, and finally air dry naturally. Be careful not to use too much force.
4. Using cleaning beads
First, rinse the liquor in the decanter with clean water, then pour the cleaning beads into the decanter filled with clean water, gently shake the decanter, and let the beads rotate in the desired cleaning position. It doesn't take long to clean the stains, then pour out the small beads and water, let them dry for future use, and then rinse the decanter with clean water.
5. Using rice grains and vinegar
In fact, the cleaning principle and method are the same, except that the cleaning beads are replaced with rice grains to provide greater protection for the decanter. The method is also very simple. Mix rice grains, water, and white vinegar in the same proportion and pour them into a decanter. Then shake the decanter until all the wine stains are removed. Finally, rinse the decanter with clean water and let it dry naturally.
