We have success with just adding a tiny bit of bleach into each stain cup and then filling the cup with water and letting it sit for a few minutes. Stains gone.
I'd love to see the before and after, as I have no idea if it was stained or if we are just taking her word for it. Ironically, she seems like she really needs some morning coffee – either that or lack of enthusiasm is her trademark!
Baking soda, or baking powder??
How about some more of these kitchen hacks.
Baking SODA, NOT POWDER..
I'll make sure to send this to my wife.
This is what I used to clean my car battery terminals
Does this work for tea stains too?
Is this method safe for pottery mugs?
So has anyone tried either of these to see?
Easiest way in the world: Spray Tilex in the bottle of the big. Let it sit. Throw it in the dishwasher.
Works every-time & you do not need to develop a paste.
does it work on tea stains too
Love these how to videos. Thanks
Do you have any recommendations to clean travel mugs with parts that cannot be reached by hand or brush?
Come on people – if your coffee cup is stained give it a wash, fill it again with water and then add 3 or 4 drops of bleach. Leave it for a few hours. Wash again. Simple. Jeesh.
The rough side of the sponge and hot water works by itself if you wash your cup often.
Hydrogen peroxide will remove tea stains by oxidizing the tannins. Probably will work on coffee stains as well
Bleach always does the trick for me…
Pro Tip ✅
Same way to clean a bong. But no sponge just swirl the bong.
I always clean my mugs after use. No stains.
Try baking SODA with white vinegar. I works beautifully on ceramic stove-tops.
I'd really like it if somebody from the Channel would clear up the confusion in the comment section.
Is is Baking Soda or Baking Powder?
Umm- bleach?
Wash a coffee cup on a Navy ship and you’ll walk the plank!☕️
The enthusiasm on this segment is absolutely sublime
Lately, I dissolve a little dishwasher (Yes for a washer) in the empty plastic bottle of a dishing washing soap, and I just squirt some in while they sit before washing. I figure that is what the company intended. A few drops of bleach works as well.
So you did not think to show us the inside of the stained mug before you cleaned it.
Would have made for a more impactful video and demonstration.
Oxyclean powder and water.
Magic eraser + water = clean mugs
Use dental cleaning tablets
I just use a Brillo pad.
Thanks, it works! 👍🏻👌🏻
The way she says "I'll see you later" sounds… non-PG
I collect vintage enamel coffee pots and I use sodium percarbonate to clean them. Just fill them up with warm water and mix in around a tbsp, a little more if the stains are bad. Leave for 10-30mins with an occasional stir. In case you're wondering, sodium percarbonate is the active ingredients in laundry oxi powders and is also used as a commercial coffee machine cleaner.

Would love to see what you all do to cleanse creuset.
Hello! We've used this tip for years. Great job.
Meh.
If you're using a sponge water and soap works just fine.
I'm going to ask my wife what she does to remove the stains …
🙏💐💐💐
is it good for "stainless" steel mugs?
