cleaning coffee stains

How do YOU keep your mugs and cups clean from coffee and tea stains?

Those awful stains happen. They just happen. No matter how much you scrub with a sponge, no matter what kind of soap you use, no matter that you use the dishwasher ……. they still have awful stains.  Right?

Here are my tricks and suggestions!

#1.

This is one very clean and white Marimekko mug.

And here it was, just a few minutes earlier:

And here’s the “trick”
I keep a small jar with baking soda right by the sink. Make sure the mug has some clean water in the bottom, then sprinkle a little (about 1/2 teaspoon) of the baking soda in the bottom of the mug. Scrub with the rough side of the sponge.
Rinse and see the pure white glaze inside!
Yes, folks, it really works.

I couldn’t resist using the Libby’s Likes flag. This really IS one of my must use products!

Dip It to the rescue!
