I tried it once and it works great. My wife told me to buy a whole package of them!

We’ve been hot-pot users for years and cleaning the inside is sometimes necessary. Nothing could be easier than the use of this product. It works. Just follow the instructions on the envelope. Easy to use, easy to clean and worth it’s weight in gold.

White vinegar dissolves all the lime, scale, etc. It's cheap, easy, just a little stinky and takes a little longer.

This is how we've been cleaning our Zojirushi electric pots for the past 20 years.

1) Heat up the vinegar to ~150f or so (in the dispensing pot or separately) then pour in. I use a 4 cup pyrex cup in the microwave.

1.5 (Optional)I add a large mason jar in the middle to displace the vinegar so I get a higher level with less vinegar (Think of how sitting in a bathtub causes the water to rise)

2) Leave overnight

3) Rinse out thoroughly. We save the vinegar for use over and over.

I don't know what chemical they are using, but I do know that white vinegar is biodegradable and perfectly safe for human consumption.

If you've found this suggestion useful, please let me know! Rating: 1 / 5

This is just citric acid. 1oz of citric acid for 2 bucks?? – You can get citric acid at a cheaper price elsewhere!

This product is a ripoff. Each bag of this product can only clean a one qt. pot. A 3 qt. pot requires 3 bags, which amounts to $6 bucks per cleaning. You don’t find this out until you get the product and read the instructions.
