    Coffee stains in cups

    Hi all

    Can someone recommend me a method to get rid of those pesky stains in the bottom of my coffee cups?

    Thanks

    Coke.

    I used to buy a can of coke every now and then and pour it into my work mug at night and rinse the next morning, sparkling! and no scrubbing required just a wipe with a cloth or wash like you do normal dishes.

    I use a bleach.
    I either fill the cup with water and tip in a small amount of bleach or i fill the sink with water and bleach and put in all the cups that need doing and leave them to soak.
    Then i wash as normal.

    My mum uses the tablets that she soaks her false teeth in !

    I have used bleach and I also know that the magic erasers works really well.

    Our stains are mainly our tea mugs, yes, we have separate mugs for tea & coffee , so they need to be cleaned regularly.

    yep drop of bleach and then chuck the bleach around your sink and it comes up a treat!

    my coffee cups look brand new now that we have our dishwasher and wash them in there instead!
    You could always bring them around and give them a spin the my dishwasher anytime lol!

    A couple of my friends bleach the insides of their cups too ... they reckon it works a treat ... needless to say i have never seen stains in their white mugs/cups
