Default Salt crust on clay pots?

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



Soak in a bucket of water with about 2 cups of bleach for 24 hours.
Works like a charm. Very little scrubbing and in some cases none needed.
