How to Remove Coffee/Tea Stains from Cups

Is there anything less appetizing than drinking from a coffee or tea stained cup? Have you ever come to an organization, school, etc, wanting to make a cuppa, but couldn’t find one reasonably clean cup? In such situations, I have the urge to roll my sleeves up and clean them all properly.

Cleaning tea and coffee stains from cups is really easy. There is no need to use abrasive chemical cleaning products or cloths, no soaking or other tricks. Just plain old BICARB SODA (bicarbonate of soda, baking soda)!

On the photo above you can see eco-cleaning in action. On a damp dishcloth sprinkle some bicarb soda, then rub the cup. The stains will disappear effortlessly. Rinse and voilà: a sparkling clean cup below!
