Cleaning Advice

Note to self of the future:

Although it will seem like a wonderful idea to clean the iced tea mixing pitcher by putting in soap and a few cups of water and mixing vigorously, please do not do it.

You will succeed in creating the most wonderfully dense and terrific looking lather of a foam within the pitcher. However it will actually fail to clean the device as you had hoped, no matter how white it looks.

Further, you will, in your joy of the foam, attempt to then turn the pitcher upside down and mix vigorously, which for a few seconds will work wonderfully. However, gravity will still apply to you, and the pitcher, and more specifically the loosely fit lid of the pitcher, which will inevitably come loose. This will in fact explode foam all over your once-clean kitchen, your once-clean dishes, your once-clean floor, your once-clean walls, your once-clean stove, and your-once clean roll of paper towels.

So in addition to having to clean the pitcher by hand anyway-as you will have noticed the foam didn't do anything inside the pitcher - you will also need to clean the aforementioned once-clean items.

At some point in the process, probably on your way to change your once-clean clothes... you will also begin to wonder why a "back splash" is so dyslexically named.
