I have never heard of wanting your mugs to be stained brown. I much prefer sparkling. I have usually just cleaned mine with a SOS pad, lightly no scouring.

The finish inside the cup will also deteriorate over time. My mom used to do that, and that's what happened. I do appreciate and enjoy all the tips here - thanks to all who contribute!

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.

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!).
