Do you have a favorite coffee mug? I do. Mine is white inside and from time to time it can get to looking a little, well…..less white!
When I used to want to try and whiten something up, I might reach for bleach – or some super power (aka toxic) dish soap….not anymore. What’s the eco friendly way to remove coffee and tea stains?
Baking Soda.
Yep!
Plain, old use it in your baking, Baking Soda. Any brand will do the job, and boy does it do a great one!
All you have to do is make a paste of baking soda and water. Then, use this paste to scrub your coffee mug, tea pot, or even your coffee maker. The stains will seem like they get absorbed right into the baking soda.
If you have a particularly persistent coffee or tea stain, you can let the baking soda mixture sit on the item for 15-20 minutes. Then, scrub again, and rinse thoroughly.
You’ll be amazed at how easily the baking soda works. And, better yet, the way your favorite mug or beloved brew pot will look when you’re done will really surprise you. The baking soda is so gentle, yet, it leaves such a shiny clean behind; you’ll never use anything else to remove coffee and tea stains again!
