Unfortunately I left some of my pots out in the elements and as a result, I had to give them a good cleaning before planting.
Very Simple Cleaning Tips:
- I filled a spray bottle with 50/50 percent solution of water and vinegar
-
- I used one of those non abrasive scouring pads to scrub and that’s it! You can also use a bottle cleaning brush or other type of brush to scour away the grime. Personally, I don’t strive for a glistening clean pot on the outside. However, it’s a great idea to get all that stuff out from the inside before doing any fresh planting.
Sending lots of healing love and light to all affected by this disaster in Oklahoma. It’s all been so overwhelmingly heartbreaking to watch.
Blessings and Happy Tuesday everyone. XX
Vinegar is such a great, natural cleaner. You are reminding me to buy a few pots for my mother. I'm off to do that now!
