Anyone who enjoys drinking tea regularly knows that it tends to cause discoloration. Especially if you have forgotten about the tea, you can clearly see tea stains on pots and cups. While fruit tea and green tea tend to cause fewer tea stains, black tea is particularly prone to leaving its mark. However, it is not just tea cups, but also teapots or thermal carafes that become marked by the use of the popular beverage. Normal washing, however, often makes it difficult to remove the stains.
Tips for removing tea stains
Baking powder
Wipe out the cup with a damp cloth and a little Baking powder. This makes the unsightly stains disappear quickly.
Vinegar
In addition to baking powder, the use of Vinegar has also proven effective. Simply fill the cup with vinegar and place it in the microwave for a short time at a low wattage setting.
Salt
Also Salt is another good home remedy. The spice is not harmful to health and quickly draws the tea pigments out of tea cups and thermal carafes. Simply put the salt on a damp cloth and rub the cup with it – the stain is gone! For stubborn stains, let the salt dry a little:Moisten the cup and sprinkle it a little with Salt. Then work on the edges with a sponge and rinse!
Kukident
To remove dirt rings and deposits in tea or coffee pots (mugs), a Kukident tablet dissolved in warm water is suitable – let it soak for approx. 1 hour.
Attention: Keep your hands off limescale removers! This remedy seems to be particularly popular with some people. However, since this agent is highly corrosive and residues of the remover can remain in cups and pots despite rinsing, you run the risk of injuries in the mouthAs soon as spring begins, people are magically drawn outside into the sun. They play sports, relax in cafés in the sunshine, and the first sun-seekers lie out in the blazing sun to get a tan. Very often, the strength of the radiation is underestimated and painful sunburns are the result.
