How to Clean and Care for Tea Accessories
Proper care helps maintain the performance and appearance of your tea accessories. Rinse accessories with warm water after each use to remove tea residue. Mild detergent can be used when needed, but avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners, especially on glass or ceramic items. Stainless steel and silicone accessories can be gently cleaned with a soft brush. Ensure all items are fully dry before storing. For deeper cleaning, occasional soaking in a vinegar-and-water solution helps remove mineral build-up and stains.
