Soapy Taste in Some Clay Cups

Hey all! I recently got some new teacups (

The detergent smell is proving very stubborn; I've tried boiling the cups in filtered water for thirty minutes, but that doesn't seem to have solved the problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might work?

I’d try an overnight diluted white vinegar soak (1/3 vinegar:2/3 water), followed by 30min gently simmering water bath, and then let completely dry for a few days in sun. Should work.

Okay, thanks! I'll give that a try.
