Generally, many people use steel wool (Cleaning balls) or loofahs and other relatively coarse cleaning tools to scrub their Tea ware, which can achieve the cleaning effect. However, consider that using these relatively rough tools to clean your tea ware can easily damage the glaze on the surface of the tea ware, making it thinner and thinner. Gradually, the tea stains will completely penetrate into the tea ware. In this case, the tea ware will turn the color of the tea broth and cannot be cleaned.
The best cleaning method is to remember to dispose of the tea leaves and rinse the tea ware with water after each tea session. If you can maintain this good habit long-term, no cleaning tool would be needed, and your tea ware will remain bright and glossy. However, many friends go to rest or do other things after Drinking Tea and forget to clean the tea ware. They only clean it when they prepare for the next tea session. After being soaked for a long time, many tea wares become stained with tea color, which cannot be washed off with plain water.
In such cases, you can apply a small amount of Toothpaste onto the tea ware, then spread the toothpaste evenly over the surface of the tea ware with your hand or a cotton swab. After about one minute, rinse the tea ware with water. This way, the tea stains on the tea ware can be easily cleaned. Using toothpaste for cleaning is convenient and won't damage the tea ware or hurt your hands. It's easy and simple, so all tea lovers can give it a try.
The thicker the tea stains on the tea ware, the less healthy or fragrant the tea brewed may be. Often, tea enthusiasts take out their beloved Teapots, with dark and glossy tea stains, as if the thicker the tea stains, the more valuable the teapot. However, tea stains are extremely detrimental to human health. Therefore, if you love drinking tea, you should also frequently clean your tea ware, which is a good living habit.
