At the time of clean kitchen utensils, surely we find dirty cups. But not with any dirt, but with those that had tea or coffee. The situation will worsen when that dirt is from weeks and months ago, so the cleaning task will be more difficult. However, here we bring you some tricks so that your cups with coffee stains or tea look like new, without spending extra money.
How to clean cups with coffee stains or cups dirty with tea?
Sodium bicarbonate
If you have cups with coffee stains or tea that seem permanent, baking soda will be the first option we suggest. For this we must fill the stained cup with boiling water. Let stand until the water cools and in another container, prepare a mixture of 5 tablespoons of vinegar and 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Then remove the water from the cup and clean the stains with the mixture of baking soda and vinegar and a sponge.
In case the stains on the dirty cups are recent, we must apply this other method. First let the cup soak in hot water until the water cools down. Then sprinkle baking soda on a sponge with detergent. Then wash the cup and clean firmly on the stained areas. Rinse and dry.
bleach
Another of the tricks to say goodbye to cups with coffee stains is using bleach. If you have liquid or gel bleach on hand, you just have to leave the cup to soak in warm water and a few drops of bleach for 15 minutes. In the end, with gloves, you just have to rinse and dry and the stains will be gone.
Lemon
Lastly, if we have cups with coffee stains either dirty cups with tea, we can remove them with lemon and baking soda. First we must prepare a mixture with both ingredients, then moisten a sponge with the mixture and clean the spots.
