Salt shakers can get clogged with salt and sometimes form
a green tarnish. To clean salt shakers, boil in water with
a few teaspoons of baking soda. When you pull them out, if
there is stubborn buildup in the holes, poke through them
with the end of a paper clip. 
Bathroom sinks can also end up with buildup and deposits -
this is called limescale and it shows up when you have
hard water. To get rid of limescale, cut a lemon in half
and use it to scrub the area - this will cut through the
scaling. 
The inside of a teapot can look unattractive, but it's
easy to clean, too! Fill the teapot with a quart of water
and 3/4 cup of white vinegar. Bring to a boil for 10-15
minutes. Let the pot cool, then wash it as usual. All of
the deposits should disappear.
