How to Get Rid of Stains from Coffee Cups

The Maids • Sep 05, 2014
When it comes to beverages, coffee and tea are not only the most popular, but also the most enjoyable. You probably invite your friends over and show them a good time over a cup of coffee, but when it comes to the house cleaning, you scrub those cups all day long to no avail.

One way you can avoid this situation from happening is to rinse the cups immediately they are used. This way, you get rid of the stain while it is still early. If you have some stained cups that you would like to clean once and for all, here are some tips for you to give a try:

1. Use Corn Starch with Vinegar

This combination creates an amazing cleaning solution. Simply mix these two in a bowl and use a scrubber to wipe away the coffee and tea stains on your cups.

2. Mix Salt and White Vinegar

This is really great for getting rid of those stains. Simply mix the two and use a rag to rub it over the stains. In no time, the stains will be gone leaving you with clean shiny cups.

3. Try Using Baking Soda

The use of baking soda is perhaps the fastest method of getting rid of stains. Simply place some baking soda in a cup and add a little water till it starts to form a paste. Once it has formed a paste, scrub the cup clean, and the stain will disappear instantly.

4. Consider A Denture Cleaner

Denture cleaners, under ordinary circumstances, whiten teeth by removing stains such as tea and coffee. These are the same stains that we are trying to get rid of when washing the cup so why not give it a try? One thing to take note when using this method is that the cup needs to be rinsed very thoroughly in order to remove all traces of cleaner.

With these methods, coffee and tea stains will be a thing of the past in your home. Looking for more help in keeping your home spotless? The Maids Minneapolis can give you a hand and even load your dishwasher for you!
