Add a few drops of liquid dish soap to a full teapot of water and boil. Rinse and boil again with only water a few times. Warning: Soap may bubble a bit, but that will help clean the spout.

boil it with a little water in it until all water boils out. Continue to boil for about 30 seconds until it gets very hot. Pour 1 cup of clorox in the kettle and boil until boils to top, approx 2 minutes. Take off heat, wash kettle in hot water. Boil water and dump to get clorox taste and scent out. Tea kettle is clean and all stains are gone.

use ice cubes and salt and swirl it around inside. Or if you wear dentures you can use denture cleaner and let it sit in there for a little while. Also baking soda and ice cubes work too. Just make sure you rinse it out after any of these methods.
