How To Remove Coffee Stains From Mugs

Learn how to remove those gross tea and coffee stains from your mugs with this one simple tip. It only takes a few minutes and your mugs will look brand new again!

A couple of years ago, I bought my husband a coffee cup for Christmas to keep at work. It’s a cute coffee cup, but for some reason, it really seems to attract coffee stains. I am not sure whether it’s because it only gets rinsed out most times or because it’s not dishwasher safe.

Either way, it bugs me that there are stains, so whenever he brings it home for me to clean it I try to spend a few extra minutes getting the stains out.

I don’t like to use harsh chemicals like bleach or denture cleaners (Gross!). I know they are meant for your teeth, but using denture cleaners in a coffee cup just grosses me out.
