Has anyone figured out how get the salt crust off their
clay pots? I've tried white vinegar. It didn't work.
Maybe I didn't do it right.

Will a normal springtime soaking pots in a wheelbarrow
fill of water with a splash of bleach make it easier to scrub
that salt off?

TIA,

Confused (as usual) in Alaska


Buy a wire brush and use the vinegar or even a product called
Barkeepers Friend in powder form. It is a stainless steel
cleaner/scour.


steel wool on glazed or plastic pots?

I never said steel wool. But yes, a wire brush on clay pots which is
what the original poster was asking about, not plastic or glazed.
