can you tell me how to remove tea/coffee stain in a cup ( prefer green & eco friendly way)?

[vio]

pls share your secret or tips?

sorry to be completely thick but i have never encountered a stain in a cup that cannot be removed with a scubber and washing up liquid

my nan occasionally washes her cups with a small amount of bleach and rinses thourally, for what reason i have no idea

One of those squigly metal scourer things.

dont want to use bleach but i know thats one way of removing tough stain

vinegar or lemon juice.

But I too have never had such a stain.

Did the cup come from under your teenage sons bed perchance?

Not sure if eco-friendly but false teeth sterilising tablets do the trick.

Could try scrubbing with salt or bicarb.

those squigly metal scourer things? would it damage the surface? err. suppose i can give it a try

Toothpaste

salt rubbed on it, bicarb rubbed on it...

no, just cups are white and i always wash them in the dishwasher but notice the tea stain inside the cup never goes away...we use fairy tablets/5 in 1 not cheap brand though..still dont understand why

No it won't damage the surface .

steradent tablets

Strong soloution of Soda Crystals.
Cheap as chips.
Also great for tea stains on spoons.

ditto soda crystals for cups/spoons.

I'm with custardo on this one. But then I don't have a dishwasher, just washing up liquid and a scrubber thingy.

Bleach and soda crystals in my cups, bleurghghgghghg I would never drink from them again.

Just get your rubber gloves on and wash them properly with something scrubby and a bit of fairy.

Bicarbonate of Soda does the trick.

laundry washing powder.

I work in a tea room with white crockery and works a treat if u soak them in it

Make sure they're washed properly after though so they don't taste horrid

dishwasher does the job here

thanks for all the good tips, i tried using squigly metal scourer things and works,
