tea stains in mugs?

[trustyourvibes]

Any suggestions on how to remove? Sorry if this has been done before, my search wouldn't work.

Thanks

Bleach - rinse well afterwards.

steradent I think

Washing powder and boiling water. Comes off in seconds.

wire wool

A new scourer and elbow grease works for me.

Rinse mug with water pour a handful of cheap salt in then use your fingers to rub it all over. Works a treat and u don't get any lingering tastes/smells.

Soak in bleach then stick in the dishwasher to get rid of bleach. Mugs look just like new.

Gin. Soak for a while and then drink dispose.

Milton..... Which I suppose is a less harsh form of bleach.

Good scrub with Cilit Bang and scourer. And then rinse rinse rinse. I know Cilit Bang gets a bad press sometimes but it doesn't half shift stains.

A bit of washing powder, as someone upthread has said. No need to scrub.

And wash them properly in future, then they won't get stained!

Wow. A whole list of suggestions. Thanks everyone, don't know which to start off with!

Milton. One of my colleagues uses this to clean the office mugs on a weekly basis.

I second Milton. It's what we use at work, and it works a treat!

Another vote for steredent denture cleaning tabs....

It's often tea-stained limescale, so if you're in an area of hard water, then limescale remover.

Coke. Leave it overnight.

Stainless steel wool. No need to scrub, comes off really easily.

Get a porcelain mug. Much easier to clean than stoneware.

Though you'd be hard pressed to tell from my badly stained porcelain mug what I got from a charity shop. Said charity shop staff were amazed I was buying it to use, rather than try to make a profit on it. Mind you, it was only 50p.

Washing powder, WASHING POWDER!! Seriously, comes off by itself. Just a bit of bog standard Persil is all you need.

bleach solution. Then do the sink with it!

Magic eraser sponges usually work.

Cheapo bleach, same stuff as Milton -fill nearly to brin with water, add dollop of bleach. Leave overnight, throw down sink to freshen drains & quick rinse with boiling water before using.

Bleach, we had to do this twice a year before the lab. Safety inspections. Nosey bugger used to have a go at for the state of the tea rooms too!

sodium bicarb + hot water and leave to soak for a bit. Wipes off easily.
