5. Clean Coffee and Tea Stains
If you are a coffee or tea drinker, then you know how stubborn those stains can be. Coffee and tea can make your cups looks old, and your pots look dirty. This is especially bad if you want to have others over for coffee or tea! Not only does it look bad, but it can actually taste bad, too.
The problem is that these stains don’t just soak away in soap and water. And once you get them gone, they come back almost immediately. Although commercial cleaners are available, they are harsh and can cause problems for you and the environment.
Thankfully, baking soda can get rid or the stains and the awful bitterness these stains produce. Baking soda is non-toxic, so you won’t have to worry about ingesting chemicals that are bad for you.
- Mix ¼ cup baking soda with 1 quart water
- Soak cups in this mixture for at least 30 minutes. Tough stains should be soaked overnight.
- Rinse.
If the stains did not disappear, try adding some vinegar to the soak.
