Need a cleaning tip

[Inchworm]

Typical of me to fear bleach because of laundry mishaps, but...I've come up with a plan.

In order to reduce the number of times I need to move to get coffee I am going to fill my thermos.

The problem is that the thermos has coffee gunk in it from like 1996.

After a hurricane you can use bleach to purify water, so can I just use straight bleach to clean the thermos?

1. A safer and effective solution would be a mixture of

distilled white vinegar and hot water. Same goes for cleaning a coffee maker.

5. Baking soda and vinegar are probably the best household cleansers one can have.

11. Dishwasher soap and hot water

(not liquid dish soap but the machine kind)Let it sit for a while. I guarantee you it works good.
