Storing and drinking water from an earthen pot or matka not only keeps it cool but is also beneficial for your health. If you are drinking matka water, remember to follow these tips to wash and maintain it this season.
When you first get a matka this summer, ensure that you clean it properly by soaking it in clean water for a few days and letting it dry before using.
After you have washed the matka, remember to store it away from direct sunlight and prevent any cracking.
Within a day or two, clean the matka with a cloth and get rid of any deposits.
While you clean your matka regularly, avoid using chemicals or detergents, as they can seep into the clay pores and harm your body.
It’s important to replace water regularly to avoid water wastage and also prevent it from turning warm.
If you spot any leaks and moulds, you can easily fix them by applying a thin layer of a paste made with slaked lime and water.
