Baking soda and vinegar
Put about one tablespoon of baking soda (about 14 ml) and 100 ml of vinegar in the thermos, pour in some hot water. Wait for the frothing and fizzing to subside. Don’t put the lid back on because the vinegar and baking soda mix are highly reactive. Then empty the thermos and give it a good rinse with hot water.
