Didn't need it, at that moment. So, I chucked some in the teapot....... Nowt happened!  :palm:

Presumably it's the tannin you are trying to remove from a tea pot? Dish washer tablets work a treat. If it was a kettle with lime scale then use citric acid. Horses for courses !

Stilldrillin:
Dave.
A friend of mine advised washing powder, in the kettle. I had to buy a new one! The plastic had absorbed the smell/ taste of the powder.  :bang: :bang:

It made a good steam water kettle.....  :thumbup:


Andy.
Ah! limescale. Yes!  :Doh:
The only dishwasher Mrs. Drillin has, is me........ And I don't use tablets for that job!  :)

Thanks for the advice Fellas!

Bluechip:
Ah yes, should have said stainless steel or ceramic teapot.
 
But then I don't brew much tea in the kettle ... :coffee:
 
My plastic kettles never seem to need de-scaling  ... they  snuff it long before then ...
