How to remove tea stains from mugs and cups

Tea stains in cups and mugs can be unsightly and difficult to remove, especially if they've been left to build up over time. Fortunately, there are several simple and effective ways to remove tea stains from cups and mugs. Here are some tips:

  • Baking Soda   Mix baking soda with water to form a paste, then apply the paste to the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, scrub the area with a soft-bristled brush or sponge and rinse with water. This method is effective at removing stubborn tea stains and other types of stains as well.
  • Vinegar    Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water, and soak the stained cup or mug in the solution for a few hours. After soaking, scrub the stain with a sponge or brush and rinse with water. The acid in the vinegar helps to break down the tea stains.
  • Lemon juice   Cut a lemon in half and rub it over the stained area, or mix lemon juice with baking soda to form a paste. Let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub with a sponge or brush and rinse with water. The citric acid in lemon juice helps to break down the stains.
  • Denture tablets  Drop a denture cleaning tablet into the stained cup or mug, then fill it with hot water and let it soak for a few hours. After soaking, scrub the stain with a sponge or brush and rinse with water. This method is particularly effective at removing tough stains.
  • Salt     Mix salt with a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice to form a paste, then apply the paste to the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes. Scrub the stain with a sponge or brush and rinse with water. The abrasiveness of the salt helps to scrub away the stains.

With these simple tips, you can easily remove tea stains from your cups and mugs and keep them looking clean and fresh.
