   * ONE OR TWO PERSON(s) WASH(ES) ONE ENTIRE BATCH of cups, instead of everybody attempting -sometimes slopily- to wash theirs, in order to minimize the "number of hands" in the wash, and potential for mistakes.

+(the same applies to tea strainers/infusers!)
 Teapots should not be considered "dirty" once used, and **do not need to be washed like the cups** (it would actually be cumbersome and inefficient with such setup).

+//(Around 37C3, we were faced with the two following issue:
+- impossibility to find in the M*tro catalog readily available unscented liquid marseille soap
+- the use of soap for the pre-wash made the wash water much more dirty (ie. traces of soap left after rinse) and required much more intensive/frequent change, that wasn't done properly.
+-> Soak is now done in a _very strong_ quantity of Sodium Bicarbonate, for a few minutes before (and during) the wash.)//

-It is composed of **Sodium Bicarbonate** (aka "Natron" or "baking soda"), in rather strong proportion (about xxxx per liter?), thus making a very basic solution that will kill/wash everything, while leaving no unpleasant taste or smell.
