I have had this teapot about 3 months and in this last month it has been in constant use and yesterday these stains appeared, is it rust? Should I throw away the kettle or can it be saved?

    Looks like it could be rust. Even if it it’s, that’s not really a problem. You can probably get rid of the rust by cleaning the teapot a bit better next time.

    I don’t see any problem with continuing to use it in the future. If you’re worried about microbes colonizing the place, remember two things:

    1. When not in use, keep it empty and dry.
    2. Clean it every now and then.

    BTW, aren’t teapots usually ceramic?
