best way to clean watering jug

[budsofgeorgia]

i use a 3 and 5 gallon water bottle to water my plants , but over time the inside gets stained just using a water hose does not clean it out what can i use to clean it or should i just get a new one
i water with plain water with cal mag and some kelp extract added
sometimes the water will sit for 2 or 3 days
pick is the bottom of my 3 gallon jug after using it for 2 or 3 years

White vinegar/ chunky sea salt solution would probably work

if salt is being use for an abrasive i might come out better using sand instead of salt

Try vinegar and baking soda. Small amounts. Sometimes the reaction can descale. You can smear the baking soda in a solution on the scale and pour a bit of vinegar. I use this trick on a bunch of shit at work

Also, the reason rain barrels aren't see through is because the sun causes algae to grow. Paint the outside of that if you are leaving it outside. You won't get stuff growing in there anymore.

If you have an ice maker, shaking and swishing ice with some salt cleans a coffee pot spotless. I'd say it work for this too.

I just rinse it well every time I use a tea or whatever and it's never an issue but I'd soak that in some cleaner and rinse extremely well

Lime away, def helps. It’ll get mineral deposits, that with the sea salt and alcohol, should be the ticket.
