Aluminium stove-top espresso maker cleaner?
I read on here recently that washing soda would get deposits off the inside of the water chamber (bottom part) so I tried it.
Didn’t realise until afterwards that my espresso maker is made from aluminium so washing soda shouldn’t be used on it.
The desposits appear to still be there but now it also looks like there’s something else too – either a black coating (that I can’t scrub off) or possible erosion.
Is there anything I can do to rescue it or do I need to buy a new one?
try a denture tablet and let it sit all nite long. You can use these tablets to clean all kinds of things and even a pedicure.
