Many enthusiasts of purple clay pots will encounter the issue of stains appearing on their pots for no apparent reason. It can be truly disheartening when a perfectly good pot develops color spots. So, are there any remedies? Below are some tips to help you out.

For minor spots and slight color unevenness:
1. In this case, after brewing Tea, pour some water into the pot or rinse it with hot water to maintain its temperature. Then, using a tea towel dipped in water, rub back and forth repeatedly. This usually solves the problem perfectly.

2. Alternatively, mix some warm water with baking soda, soak the pot for half an hour, and this can also remove some small spots.

For oil stains:
1. Try brushing your purple clay pot's “teeth.” Yes, use toothpaste and a toothbrush, but make sure to use a soft-bristled one. Gently brush for a while, and this should generally remove the oil stains.
2. Pour hot water over the pot repeatedly, then polish it several times with a polishing pad. Next, boil water as if you were seasoning the pot, and then simmer the pot for 20 minutes. Allow it to cool naturally, and give it a thorough wipe. The oil stains should disappear.
