sooby said:We use vinegar here to remove mineral deposits from items due to our hard water, so I would have thought it would work although I've never bothered removing them from clay pots. But I just want to add, in an abundance of caution because probably nobody here would do it but it has been done, do not try and do the vinegar or other acid and a bleach soak at the same time because combining bleach with an acid produces toxic gases.


I think that's a very good reminder, Sue!

Also -- although presumably one would be wearing older clothes while doing gardening stuff -- keep in mind that bleach can really do a number on fabric !
