You can effectively remove tea stains from cups using baking soda and a soft sponge.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Sprinkle Baking Soda: Put about 1 teaspoon of baking soda directly onto the tea stain.
- Make a Paste: Add a small amount of water to the baking soda to create a paste.
- Scrub Gently: Use a damp, soft sponge to gently scrub the stain with the baking soda paste. The mild abrasive quality of baking soda helps lift the tea stains without damaging the cup.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Once the stain is removed, rinse the cup thoroughly with water to remove any remaining baking soda residue.
- Dry the Cup: Allow the cup to air dry or dry it with a clean towel.
This method is generally effective for removing most tea stains and is safe for use on most cup materials.
