The shiny metal trap was holed! When OH went to buy a new one, the plumber's merchant asked if I had been using vinegar and baking powder! No…

I drink black tea. Invariably there is a film on top of the tea - it doesn't affect the taste. Does anybody know of a way of getting rid of this? It tends to leave a residue on the cups.
