How to Clean UtiliTEA Tea Kettles
UtiliTEA tea kettles are 30 oz. stainless steel electric kettles that give you the opportunity to brew and enjoy a variety of teas without having to step outside your front door. Cleaning the UtiliTEA kettle every time you notice stains or foul odors inside of it is recommended. Otherwise, the tea that you make inside of the kettle will not taste right. Failing to clean both the inside and outside the kettle for long periods of time can also make it more difficult to remove stains. Does this Spark an idea?
