Brought home some "citric acid" for mum's teapot. Whatever it was, it worked! It also worked in the kettle. Mum was delighted! Somehow, over the many years, and kettles, and teapots, we forgot what cleaned what. :palm: This evening, I've cleaned the stainless teapot. With a good dollop of Persil washing powder, and hot water. Herself refused to drink the suppertime cuppa. "It tastes of powder". (It did an all!). Soo..... The sparkling teapot is soaking overnight, in a strong mix of citric acid.......... :thumbup: I just hope it is tasteless, before breakfast time....... :( David D --- End quote --- David D OK, now I think I understand. :scratch: :scratch: Cheers :beer: Don PS: I think Bluechip might have the right idea.

I use Sainsbury's el-cheapo ... Put it under a tap, just running fairly slow. That's all I do, never had it still have detergent taste left in it. I am willing to loan my pressure washer out for a modest sum .... :) BC |
