Tea stained spokns

[Thingywhatsit]

I have a rather bad tea habit 😞😞 and as such all my spoons are starting to look stained. What's the best way to get rid of the stains and have nice tea spoons again????

You can bleach them and wash them thoroughly after. Put a blob of bleach in a mug, top up with water and soak the spoons.

Astonish does a little tub of stuff especially for this that also works well, oxygen something or other. You can get it in the pound shop.

Milton also does the job beautifully, without the need for bleach. Just put them all in a teacup full of water overnight with a capful of milton. Come the morning they will be shiny again - no need to scrub and no need to rinse!

Right so Milton might be best thing for me - not sure I fancy bleach on my spoons. Hate bleach at best of times.

Before I go buy some - Milton won't make them smell will it?

VAnish oxy action in a mug. boiling water. Swish. Leave. remove scrub. Weird trick from my granddad

Citric Acid

Don't use bleach, it wrecks aquatic environments which affects our water supply.
A paste of bicarbonate of soda works well, leave it on for 20 mins then scrub off

I just use a metal scourer....

Milton is dilute bleach isn't it?

You could try a paste bicarbonate of soda with hot water.

Milton is just weak bleach. Have you never smelled it?!

I did this the other day - bicarb in hot water, leave them to soak, then wash with a sponge. They all look brand new!

Ok I am gonna try the bicarb thing - sure I have some around! Thank you! 😄😄😄😄

Dishwasher tablet in a mug with teaspoons and some hot water?

Ok I tried the bicarb thingy on a couple of spoons and it worked!!!!! Now have the rest of my tea spoons in a dish of bicarb paste. Only took 30 mins and a quick scrub! Photo of stained on the left and bicarb' don the right!

Thank you for the suggestions!

Brilliant and so much better than bleach!

Magic sponges are brilliant for removing tea stains from spoons and mugs

Denture tablets. Boiling water. Leave for an hour or so.

I thought Milton was baby steralliser?

I dip them in a mug of neat smartprice beach, when their done I pour the bleach back into the bottle.

I have the astonish stuff - works on cups too and just leave the spoons in to soak at the same time

Never thought about bicarb even though I use it for just about everything else! Will switch when the astonish runs out

Coke or Pepsi would work too.
