Salt and ice work for a good shake and scrub as well. Cheers!!

When I was working in a hotel, we would clean the big coffee dispensers with bleach and hot water when they got like that.

Dunno how similar a sigg tablet is. I use puro caff or or puly caff espresso cleaner for bottles, airpots, brewers, espresso group heads, portafilters, etc. It always works awesome and everything ends up looking like new.

An alkaline cleaner like PBW will get that clean. It will remove stains on glass like that almost instantly.

Reply to comment by 1212gatez in I have two low pile/almost no pile area rugs and hardwood floors. I’m tired of vacuum cleaners that just stop working after a couple years. I do have pets. Anyone have any experience with carpet sweepers? And can you recommend a bifl one? by 1212gatez
A floor sweeper is going to leave your rugs still very dirty unless they're the kind of rug you can take outside to beat the dirt out.
If they are, then I wouldn't even buy a floor sweeper. Just use a floor squeegee with a replaceable blade or head and a large, damp microfiber cloth. Sweep and damp mop at the same time for regular dirt and dust, use floor cleaner spray to mop on mopping days. I saw a woman do that on YouTube, she cleans filthy hoarded homes in Europe for free. It's the best floor cleaning system I've ever used, and it's literally a stick, a cloth, and some fabuloso

I'd probably try barkeepers friend. Works on my pans really well.

I had this same issue and tried everything! Nothing worked except Bottle Bright purchased on Amazon.

Former barista here. I recommend cafiza. It will get the job done. Fill the thermos up with boiling water and add the powder.

Use the little tablets kids clean orthodontic plates in & older folks clean dentures in.
Eg: https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/7187/polident-denture-cleanser-fresh-active-tablets-36 or any similar "denture tablet" equivalent.
Pop a few inside, with boiling hot water filled right to the brim, and leave for half an hour on your draining board/on your sink (it likely will bubble & overflow a bit).
Magic:)

Soft shell? How about a flight jacket? Alpha Industries still makes them for the military, and now civilian use. There are both heritage and more modern cuts of jackets. A little pricey, but definitely quality.

Those trackers have a limited lifespan, you will need to buy a new one eventually.
May I recommend another solution?
I used to be in the habit of constantly losing my wallet until I bought one on a chain that clips to my belt. The chain isn't some exaggerated fashion statement, it's practical, short and discreet. Bought the chain wallet in 2014-ish and haven't misplaced it since.

Shoutout to Spokane, WA. Also home to White’s boots, another fine boot maker that has been operating since 1853.

A little isopropyl (strongest possible) and a bunch of coarse salt will make your bong spotless. It does for mine.

100% agree with the Victorinox. It has to be the best value of any chef's knife.
I love my Shun and Henckels knives, but I find the Victorinox more comfortable to use, easier to control with most applications, much more durable (especially the handle) and with better edge retention.
Also, it has a deep heel to spine measurement so is great if you have big hands and don't want your fingers bumping the cutting surface. (Allows a more comfortable wrist angle as well)
Best of all, it's a small fraction of the cost of the other high-end consumer knives mentioned here.
Not sexy, but gets the job done... It' the Ron Swanson of kitchen knives.
