@the_sourdoughhoe: How I Clean My Starter Jar (No Products Needed) Here’s exactly how I do it…just hot water + a paper towel 💁🏼‍♀️ 1️⃣ I pour hot tap water into my starter jar (Hot from the tap — not boiling. We don’t need exploding glass.) 2️⃣ I use a spatula to loosen anything stuck to the sides, then cover the jar with plastic wrap and let it sit for about 10 minutes. 3️⃣ After it soaks, I take a paper towel, dip it in the warm water in the jar, and wipe down the sides. Everything slides right off. 4️⃣ I add a little more hot water to dilute it and dump it in the garden — starter water is great for your plants 🌱 5️⃣ If you want to be extra cautious, do one last wipe with a damp paper towel before washing it in the sink like normal. That’s it. Simple.
