By scrutinizing your coffee or tea cup, you will be able to observe many brown stains, which are not always easy to remove completely. Tired of scrubbing again and again? Good news, an everyday product can make your job easier.
With their often white interior, coffee cups and mugs get stained very quickly and it can be difficult to restore them to their original shine. With use, your favorite cup turns brown under the effect of successive coffees due to the presence of tannins, plant compounds well known to wine lovers but less so to coffees or teas. The effects are however similar with a gradual coloring of your favorite cup which will lose its immaculate whiteness over time. But rest assured, nothing is lost!
You can make them look like new again and use them without shame with your guests with several tricks shared on the web. First, forget about the often advanced bleach for its whitening powers. The product is harmful, will require careful rinsing and does not bring guaranteed results.
Quite the opposite of a small miracle product shared by many Internet users across the Channel where tea and its associated service is a national heritage. So that the “Tea Time” is carried out according to the rules of the art, wise English people do not hesitate to divert the use of an everyday product: the dishwasher tablet.
You don’t even have to scrub your cup with this simple method that only takes a few minutes!
“A dishwasher tablet dissolved in water. Leave it for a few minutes and the stains will disappear. I also clean my teapot this way”, comments a user on the cleaning tips page launched by an English woman under Mrs Hinch’s pseudonym. Others add a few tips like the Internet user Grace Allen who advises to simply “soak (the cup with the dishwasher tablet) with boiling water. It produces an incredible result after two minutes and it is not no need to scrub stains.”
Some use scraps of tablets for this, which may have been broken into pieces in their original packaging in order to recycle them and use them anyway. All that remains is to rinse your cup for a guaranteed impeccable result. You had to think about it…
