Some people keep a Matka (earthen pot) in their house to drink cold water in summer. Its water cools the body, but we should keep some things in mind before storing water in it. Many times we buy a Matka, but do not clean it properly. This can cause diseases. In the report, we know some important tips after buying a Matka.

Summer has begun. In this season, everyone likes to eat cold things and drink cold water. However, everyone has a fridge in their house, which is the best option for cold water. But even today, some people keep an earthen pot or matka in their house even after having a fridge. There is a health-related difference between pot water and fridge water. Matka water is beneficial for health, but fridge water is harmful. Water from an earthen pot is naturally cold and minerals are also found in it. On the other hand, the nature of fridge water is hot, which heats up the body. If you are also bringing a matka home, then take care of these things so that you stay healthy.

Keep these 5 things in mind after buying the pot

1. Cleaning the pot

After getting a new pot, you should first make a mixture of baking soda and hot water and put it in the pot and wash it thoroughly. This destroys the dirt and bacteria in the pot. Clean the pot regularly.

2. Keep it in the right place

Always keep the pot in a shady and airy place. This cools the water and also improves the quality of water. Keeping the pot in direct sunlight will keep the water warm.

3. Fill the water and leave it

Whenever you buy a new pot, initially keep it filled with water for 3-4 days. After this, throw away the water. This process will reduce the taste and smell of the clay of the pot.

4. Keep the pot covered

Always keep the water in the pot covered with a lid so that dust and dirt do not enter it. But do not use a completely closed lid, so that the water can also get air.

5. Keep changing the water

Keep changing the water in the pot. If the water is starting to finish, then you should first finish that water completely and then fill new water. In this way, you will be able to fill new water and the pot will also be cleaned. Use a water extracting device instead of hands to take out water from the pot.
