Why would you put that much unnecessary work into it. Just soak it in bleach and hot water for an hour and rinse it out after.
Well, when you want tea at 3 am because you couldn't sleep, but the tea steeper is dirty thus preventing you from having your tea, you get a bit vengeful and want to remove each speck of dirt by hand.
I prefer to speak down to my dirty utensils until they smarten up and start taking care of themselves.
Talk with your woman, cretin.
Hey man, I totally understand you. Not weird at all.
My back is fucked so I have the same bouts of restlessness at times.
It sucks and I don't wish it on anyone. Hope you heal quickly.
Only thing I would have done different is use a nylon brush instead of brass. Brass often leaves its own residue on other metals, even if only miniscule.
Regardless, I'd say carry on. I'd rather a tinge of brass flavor than obvious mold.
It depends on your normal waking hours or how much insomnia you have.
Edit: neither of those things I mentioned are normal, so I guess your wife is right.
Use a regular toothbrush.
Who cares if it’s normal. If a man wants to clean his tea infuser he shouldn’t get nagged about it.
It's only not normal because the equipment doesn't require a deep clean very often. And major back injuries are also not normal but who's connecting all those dots at three in the morning?
Why are you brushing your teeth with a brass brush?
Really gnarly plaque buildup.
Totally not normal for me, I don't know what's normal for you...
she woke up to use the restroom.
More likely all the noise you were making did it. Yeah Buddy, looks like you might be in a bad spot. Listen to your wife and figure out what needs to change.
