Black tea or rosehip tea in particular can be tricky. Once the stain has landed on your white T-shirt or good linen tablecloth, you need to act quickly..
Remove fresh tea stain
Water
Treat the fresh tea stain on the white garment or tablecloth immediately with warm water and clean it using Washing machine.
Lemon and water
For a fresh tea stain, mix a lemon mixture mix: water- and lemon juice mixture in a 1:1 ratio mix., Wash the stain thoroughly with the mixture. Then wash as usual and the stain is gone!
Lemon
It also works if you rub the stain with a lemon. You really shouldn't skimp on the lemon. A few drops are not enough: it is best to generously apply the whole lemon to the affected area from both sides and let it soak in well before letting the washing machine do the rest.
Kukident or similar denture cleaning tablets
While some swear by stain sprays or stain removers, Kukident or similar denture cleaning tablets have proven to be advantageous. Simply place the garment or tablecloth in a sufficiently large bowl of water and add several tablets (2-4 pieces). It works!
Dishwasher detergent
If you don't have Kukident & Co. at home, you might want to try this tip: dissolve some dishwasher detergent in hot water and soak the garment or tablecloth in the solution. Depending on the intensity, let this agent soak for up to several hours.
