How to clean your Terra-cotta Pots!

Have you noticed that your terra-cotta pots have a yucky while film on the sides?  This is actually hard water deposits.  Heloise says that you should use some dish soap and  a hard bristle ploastic scrub bruch and give the planter a through cleaning -- inside and out!  Be sure you rinse to remove all soap reside.  Then, using full-strenght vinegar, wipe the entire pot until all of the whie mineral deposits have dissolved.  Let completely dry before planting in it again. 

Enjoy your summer!
