HI- A good copper cleaner will do. Like Twinkle, etc. Apply the paste to outside only

Hi, I have two Simplex tea kettles (I purchased them for my mother) with the coil underneath each one - one is bare copper and the other one is chrome-plated. I use only the chrome-plated tea kettle. To bring back the shine on the chrome model, I use Copper-Glo Tarnish cleaner. It's a fine-powdered, cleaning product similar to Ajax and Comet. I use it every now and then to bring back the shine to my chrome kettle. I think it does a very nice job on my kettle (and it should work for the bare copper kettle as well). I also have the Simplex Copper Care Kit. The Simplex kit is specifically designed for Simplex tea kettles. I got it from Leemark Spinnings in the UK. Leemark Spinnings is supposed to by the parent company of Simplex, but I don't know if they still are. Leemark sent the copper care kit to me as a complimentary gift. If you would like to obtain a Simplex Copper Care Kit, here's a website you can order it from: http://www.simplex-kettles.com/about-simplex.aspx (http://www.simplex-kettles.com). I hope the info, above, helps.

We keep our kettle on the stove and so it gets splattered with grease from time to time. This will bake on over time and the only product I have found that removes baked on grease is Barkeepers Friend. Barkeepers Friend is a great product for cleaning stainless steel. It will slightly lessen the mirror finish version of this product - but the mirror finish is pristine and if you use your kettle it will not be pristine forever. Barkeepers Friend will help restore a polish and shine, just not factory finish. The matte version is the best choice if you are concerned. Soap and water is okay if you never get grease spatters on your kettle. We keep our kettle on the stove and so it gets splattered with grease from time to time.

Nope! Leave the collar on. Rinse the pot after all coffee is gone...just swirl with a tad of hot water, but try to keep the collar dry. Be sure to empty and rinse every night before going to bed. If you have left over coffee, put in another cup in the fridge (cover). Always take out filter after brewing. Once a week, I use a tad of dish soap and a bottle brush (like for baby bottles)which will get rid of any left over residue from the week. Rinse thoroughly with hot water, again, keeping the collar dry. Then air dry. It's really a piece of cake. I've used Chemex for over 40 years...wouldn't trade it for anything!!

The chrome is on the outside over the copper so you do not have the constant need to clean the copper. My kettle was made in England, I have had it for a long time and it replaced the same style kettle that I purchased in 1968 when I was married. We have used these kettles for over 40 years and I would still recommend them over any other kettle.

Cleaning IS easy, & you do need to clean the kettle as well! The best, easiest & safest way to clean the entire popper is to use baking soda on a damp cloth! It safely removes the sticky residue from the interior walls as well as the kettle. To properly clean the kettle, of course, remove it according to directions & be sure to NOT immerse it in water. A soft toothbrush coated with a paste of baking soda & water helps remove sticky buildup from the kettle & lid. Our popper looks like new! I would not recommend using any type of chemical solution/wipes, such as Clorox wipes...baking soda is totally non-toxic. Cleaning IS easy, & you do need to clean the kettle as well!

I just use water. There is a cleaner they recommend in the user manual for tough cleaning but I have not used it.

The inside of the Cuisinart kettle is covered with black enamel so you do not have to clean it after every use. So far I clean outside and as calcium builds up in 9 to 12 months ,I guess I will have to de-calcify the inside.

Yes yes..my mom became expert in polishing very old, tarnished copper pots and kettles.i.that she bought in the junk stores in 50's England.the only hesitation I have is does your copper have a coating of any sort,don't know about that. Sharon

Never have needed to clean it. This is a GREAT tea pot. It's my second one. Very expensive but worth every penny. It's copper inside so it heats up fast. Just don't let it stay boiling for too long because the steam will actually melt the black plastic handle on the top.

If you get hard water stains, go to an oriental grocery and get some powdered citric acid. Use a teaspoon or two in a liter of water and boil it, swish it and rinse. Your pot will be shiny like new!

call a home brew store about ceramic food grade cleaners ~ northern home brew supplies .com or use hydrogen peroxide and scrub with a great rinsing afterwards with distilled water cheers A

I used cameo a non scratch cleanser that cleans and even removes the blue discoloration you get with high heat sometimes. This is a cleanser for copper cookware but works really well on stainless . Also Barkeepers Friend cleans and shines without scratching.

I use stainless cleaner that I use on my appliances but sometimes I just wipe it with a wet sponge and then dry it with a papertowel

If you look nat the side of the bottle you will find a list of numbers from 1 at the bottom to 26 at the top. Each number represents the amount necessay to clean one coffe pot. You jst add the amount indicated on the side of the bottle to the pot and fill the pot 1/4 full with hot tap water. Use a spnge or brush for more difficult stains. Empty out cleaning solution and rinse. For really bad stains use 1 ounce of Squeak "N Clean to 1 cup of hot water. Allow to soak at least 5 min, the use sponge and brush as above. Hope that this helps.

You use a metal cleaner for copper. You can find it in most grocery stores. Citric acid as from lemon juice also works.

1st time, I refilled the pot and add some vinegar, then let it boiling, the poured water out. Vinegar can help to clean/descale. I used this: http://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-ADC-05-Electric-Dispensing-Cleaner/dp/B000GFJ9W4/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1419377760&sr=8-10&keywords=citric+acid+clean to clean another pot, it cleans very good.
