Foosty up here, and yeah, Milton fluid, or I'm told that sterident tablets work very well indeed too

cheers,
Toddy

Yup.

Trick is to not put milk or sugar in the flask, coffee or tea won't go foosty unless you've left dregs in the flask, and even then, for a considerable time. Milk's the real villain though, can't clean a flask properly so best to keep fats well clear.

On the few occasions I use a flask I only ever put in boiling water (unless it's soup in the food flask). Tea and coffee are terrible for leaving a taint on flasks. Also with boiling water you can use it for tea, coffee, noodles, stockcube drinks - whatever takes your fancy at the time. But as said if you can soak the stopper in milton it should help.

Pretty much exactly that^. With just hot water in there I have a lot more choice.

I only put boiling water in my drinks flask, sometimes use a soup/stew flask which contains soup or stew.

Can't be done with flasks that always have that tea taint.

I don't drink milk, and HWMBLT doesn't drink tea. So my flask is only used for tea with a little sugar in it, or hot water, but his is only used for coffee.
Just don't get them mixed up

Did the bicarbonate soak get rid of the foostiness ?
