Could I use bi-carb soda to sterilize and clean an electric jug?

Answer 1

Bicarbonate of sodium won't sterilize anything. You can use straight vinegar on a rag or paper towel, or slosh it around in the jug to sterilize it. Vinegar kills germs on contact. Drain it and use it. Otherwise, a ten percent solution of chlorine bleach and water will sterilize almost anything. The way to figure the ten percent is to remember that there are 16 tbsp. to a cup. So you add one tbsp. of bleach to a little less than 2/3 of a cup of water. I'll let you do the math.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Despite bi carb is great, it does not work to sterilize. Maybe just for cleaning but not for that purpose.
