Brilio.net - A teapot is a tall, concave container that functions to store drinking water or hot water. This utensil is equipped with a funnel on one side to make it easier to pour water. The special design of the teapot makes it practical to use in everyday life.
Ceramic teapots are a favorite choice for brewing tea or coffee because of their sturdy and heat-resistant nature. The variety of ceramic teapot designs adds aesthetic value when used. Ceramic materials provide optimal comfort in the process of brewing drinks.
Intensive use of the teapot to brew tea or coffee can cause residue buildup. Residue that is not cleaned will harden into crust and is difficult to remove. The problem of crust on ceramic teapots is a common problem that users often experience.
YouTube user Beauty Women shared her experience of dealing with a crusty ceramic teapot in her video upload. Her beloved teapot had become very dirty due to regular use for brewing tea and coffee. The solution of cleaning the teapot was chosen as a wiser alternative than buying a new one.
"If you have a favorite ceramic teapot, this is how dirty it is. The crust is thick and pitch black, don't throw it away because it can be cleaned with easy ingredients," said YouTube Beauty Women as quoted by BrilioFood on Friday (12/27).
To remove stubborn crust in the teapot , the YouTube user did not use dish soap. Instead, he used kitchen ingredients, namely salt and baking soda. These two ingredients are believed to be more effective in removing crust on the teapot than dish soap.
How to use it, first prepare water in a pan. Then move it to the stove and turn on the heat. Boil this water until it boils using medium heat.

While waiting for the water to boil, add 1 tbsp of salt. In the video, he uses coarse salt. However, if you don't have any, you can use regular salt that you have in your kitchen.
After adding salt, stir until the salt is slightly dissolved. If so, add 1 tbsp of baking soda to the pan. Then stir until all ingredients are dissolved and mixed well. Next, wait until the water boils.

When the water is boiling, turn off the stove. Then pour some of this hot water into the crusty ceramic teapot and stir it for a while. When first given hot water, the crust in the teapot immediately dissolves and makes the water inside it blacker.

But for maximum results, throw away the water. Then fill it with the remaining hot water. After that, let it sit for 20 minutes so that the crust is completely lifted perfectly.
Once it has been left to sit, pour out the water and wash the kettle as usual using dish soap. But in the video, YouTube user Beauty Women mixes her dish soap with coarse salt. This mixture of soap and salt is believed to make the kettle as clean as possible.
"And the benefit of this salt is to repair or remove, neutralize the toxins contained in the teapot due to rust and scale," he explained further.

After scrubbing with soap and salt, rinse the teapot under running water. Well, this teapot is cleaner and shinier because it is free of scale. If you have a teapot with scale, whether ceramic or not, this method can be practiced.
"This tip can also be used to clean ceramic teapots or kettles, as well as stainless steel or aluminum kettles," said YouTube Beauty Women.
