detergent in a teapot

I asked my mother for a silver plated teapot - she gave me this gorgeous one. It looks good, BUT it turns out it is no good for having tea - the handle gets too hot. As I've always disliked the sight of dishwashing liquid on the window sill or around the sink I have kept it in a cupboard underneath the sink. By putting the dishwashing liquid into the teapot I keep the teapot as a beautiful and useful item and take away the effort of opening the cupboard every time I wash up.

Step 1 Dishwashing liquid

I use a small bottle of liquid detergent.

thanks - you might also like the idea that my friends at www.wilkinsandkent.com use. They have a ball of string in a teapot with the end coming out of the spout, when they wrap things it's easy to pull on the string and it doesn't get tangled.
