Baking soda has power

I wish I took a before and after picture, but sadly I didn't.
My brother and I grew up on my moms home-made iced tea. A day didn't go by when we didn't drink it.
So I save lots of money and follow her traditions. I have a large 5qt pot that I boil water in, steep the tea bags in. After adding some sugar and lemon juice, we're good to go.
Well I've been making iced tea in this same pot for years. It's actually tea stained.
Tonight I was washing up from dinner when  thought hit me. 'Baking soda.'
I dumped about 3 TBSP worth into the large pot, added a bit of water and scrubbed it with the rough side of a sponge.
I'm not kidding...it came out sparkling and brand new!!!
If you have stained pots, or even your stainless steel sink then give baking soda a whirl. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
The best parts, it's super green and super cheap!!!
