My white cup is washed daily, but it still contains tea stains. I left it at my neighbor's one day and she bleached it. It took me a month or more to get the stains back in it so it would have the right taste. If its not broke don't try to fix it. I agree.

Your welcome. Pat,

It's a labor of love when your coffee mug has that beautiful brown seasoning inside. It makes the coffee taste so much better. I bet REAL coffee drinkers around the world are cringing, much like I did, reading this. Why would you want to clean a well seasoned coffee mug?

Quick, no fumes. Never noticed any damage, even to nice porcelain (rub gently on any gold rims etc.). Great for tea strainers and stainless steel sinks too (though there are gentler products out there made for sinks, which don't scratch...but that's only if you have a fancy sink you really care about!).

I have used hot water with a little bleach, filling the cup and letting it set while I wash the rest of the dishes, or I have also used hot water with a bit of ammonia in the same manner. (Remember to NEVER mix bleach and ammonia! Do not use ammonia for stainless steel pots and pans or tableware). Wash your cups very well after the soaking. I also add a lid full or two of bleach to sudsy dish water (use rubber gloves to protect you hands) to disinfect and make glasses sparkle. Rinse well with hot water. The gloves will protect you hands from heat as well. I hand wash dishes, so apparently I have already gone green! Hi!

The brown stain just sloughed off. I rinsed the cup, washed it out -- et voila, ready to go --- and my cups were VERY stained.
