Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Dingy Teapot?


If you find the inside of your teapot lacking the lustre it once had, these 2 cleaning tips will help bring back it's beauty.

This is my favorite and I have also replaced the salt with baking soda.

1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 1/4 cups cool tap water
3 tablespoons of table salt

Bring ingredients to a boil and then place all ingredients into the teapot. Allow the mixture to remain for about 10 hours (overnight) and rinse well with cool tap water.
(Note: I use this on my porcelain teapots, I'm not sure how it would work on electric ones, I would use straight vinegar on those).

My second favorite is using alka selzter or denture tablets. You just fill your teapot with hot water, throw in a tablet and let it soak for an hour or so. Rinse well and your teapot should be sparkling!
