Since the clay has the unique characteristic of absorbing the flavor of your tea, washing with soap will take away from that unique quality. Never wash your Yixing teapots with any detergents or cleaning agents, just rinse with hot water after leave the lid uncovered until it is fully dried. Tea stains may build up on your teapot after continued use, which is a good thing. Collectors actually look for tea stains and signs of use which adds character to a teapot. Avoid having dust and grease get to the teapot.
