    When those pesky little coffee and/or tea stains start to show up in your favorite cups, try using a mixture of vinegar and baking soda.

    A greenie scratch pad cleans your cups and glass ware with hardly no scrubbing.I use them on everything.And they don’t scratch your dishes.

    TIP FOR TEA OR COFFEE STAINED CUPS: MAGIC ERASER!

    You can use it on the finest of china! I use it on my china tea cups when they get stained.

    Pour bleach (Javex, Old Dutch, etc) into the stained cup. Swirl it around til the stain disappears. Pour bleach into a clean jar and cap tightly. It can be used quite a few times, kept handy beside dishwashing soap. Wash the bleached cup well with hot soapy water, then rinse well. Little effort required.

    I had once read that using plain white Colgate toothpaste would clean my white porcelain crockpot. Worked like charm. Tried it today on coffee stained coffee cups. Worked great. Non-abrasive like salt. Non-toxic like bleach. And does not leave the taste of salt or vinegar in the cup.

    I didn’t have white Colgate so I tried Crest pro-health. Worked so great I was amazed!!! Try it, you’ll love it!

    I use an SOS pad to clean a coffee cup…when I see a little stain in the cup, I take a wet SOS pad and clean the inside of the cup…it work’s great and fast too.

    I don’t think it’s a good idea to use bleach on the dishes that you may eat or drink from.

    Crest pro-health worked like a charm for me. I had a white china cup that has been stained for quite a while and whenever cleaned it would take lots of scrubbing. I used the toothpaste mentioned before and it was so easy!
