When cleaning my clay pots before re-using them, I find it very
difficult to remove from both inside and outside a crust of what may be
salts, calcium or other minerals or chemicals. I have tried soaking them
in a clorox solution, but did not have any success. Is there anything
that is not too toxic or in otherr ways harmful that I can use?.

Hello!

i know that vinegar is quite good to remove calcium salts!

I have heard that Epsom Salts will also be a good soak.
