Pa nthawiyo, makasitomala ena amene anali asanapangepo tiyi analandira matumba a silikawo, chifukwa sankadziwa bwinobwino mmene amapangira tiyi, nthawi zambiri ankaponya matumba a silika amenewa m’madzi owiritsa ndi kuphulika. Koma pang'onopang'ono, anthu adapeza kuti tiyi wopakidwa motere ndi yabwino komanso yosavuta kugwiritsa ntchito, ndipo pang'onopang'ono adapanga chizolowezi chogwiritsa ntchito matumba ang'onoang'ono kunyamula tiyi.

Munthawi yomwe mikhalidwe yoyambira ndi ukadaulo sizinali zokwera, panalidi zovuta zina pakuyika zikwama za tiyi, koma ndikukula kwa nthawi komanso kusintha kwaukadaulo wamakina oyika tiyi, kuyika kwa ma teabags kukukulirakulirabe, ndipo mitundu ikusintha mosalekeza. Wolemera. Kuchokera pansalu yopyapyala ya silika, ulusi wa PET, nsalu zosefera za nayiloni kuti mubzale pepala la chimanga cha chimanga, zotengerazo ndizogwirizana ndi chilengedwe, zaukhondo komanso zotetezeka.

Mukafuna kumwa tiyi, koma simukufuna kudutsa njira zotopetsa zofukiza mwachikhalidwe, ma teabags mosakayikira ndi chisankho chabwino kwambiri.
