I could see the brown stains disappear by the end. Added water and some dish soap to the bleach and ran it another few minutes. At the end of this the was almost completely clean. A little scrubbing took off some bright areas. Vinegar and baking soda for a 6 minutes spin and the jar was clean!arbushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364467514665819717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404621120443963431.post-17945161403005333902016-01-30T23:07:38.911-06:002016-01-30T23:07:38.911-06:00Simply spray it with Clorox cleanup, let it stand ...Simply spray it with Clorox cleanup, let it stand for 5 minutes or so, spray again & let it stand for a while.
