As with all unglazed ceramics, wash with warm water and a soft cloth only. Do not use washing-up liquid or put in the dishwasher. Pat the outside dry with a towel to prevent water stains and leave the teapot to air dry naturally with the lid off. If tea leaves get trapped in the strainer, brush away with a soft brush. Hard water may cause limescale deposits to develop, in which case rinse with soft bottled water, then wipe with a soft cloth.
