that top tip inthe newsletter about using clothes washing
liquid to get rid of teastains in cups doesn't work.

Is anyone on here domestic enough to know what does?

Salt.
Well it works for teaspoons.

I have salt
I should try that
(I helped save b3ta! Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 20:42, Reply)
OK
mugs now contain very salty water
(I helped save b3ta! Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 20:46, Reply)
No....use the salt as an abrasive to remove the tea stains.

(I helped save b3ta! girlinthehole, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 20:47, Reply)
ooooooh
I should have some kind of washing up brush for this I suppose. The only one I have is for guinea pig cage cleaning.

perhaps this is tomorrow's job

Got any washing powder or tablets?
They're usually very alkaline, though not as strong as caustic soda.

nope
I have a little clothes washing stuff, that didn't work

Oooh! Me!
What you have to do, is to wash up your cups within a few hours of finishing your brew. Leaving the cup on the floor by the sofa for a few days makes it more difficult.

bleach water
put about 1 cup or so of bleach in a sink full of hot water, let your cups soak overnight, wash them in the morning
(I helped save b3ta! Lisette von Falcon, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 20:42, Reply)
The consensus seems to be
I have to buy something unless BGBs version works
(I helped save b3ta! Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 20:43, Reply)
I thought bleach was a typical household item?
Either way, it's usually cheap, and works wonders.

Bleach is good
little bit in each cup, then boiling water and leave for a bit, then scrub

It's probably the best cleaner ever, just bleach and water.
But it's a harsh chemical, use too much and it'll burn you.

Based on the many solutions offered here.
It'll probably be cheaper to buy some new mugs from the supermarket value range.

this makes me wonder why this domestic dunce is worrying about tea stains.
I mean if one extrapolates from the information presented to date, she likely has bigger problems...

not as such

This is what I do
as I've said before a measure of regard when people came to visit me was if I had bought new mugs
(I helped save b3ta! Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 21:18, Reply)
but having too many mugs
means there are more left around the place before you run out and are forced to wash them. I own 4, no more, no less. Same with plates. Only have 3 of those though, I trod on one and now it's a pallette

Denture tablets, apparently
failingthat, you could try rubbing the stain with an abrasive toothpaste. Or a paste of bicarb and water.

Or change all your mugs for dark ones.
(I helped save b3ta! b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 2 Aug 2011, 21:16, Reply)
I'm guessing that Captain would rather buy bleach rather than Denture tablets.

denture tablets are essentially just bicarb, anyway.
