The 10p method that removes tea stains from mugs better than bleach
A cleaning fan shared a 10p cleaning hack to effortlessly remove stubborn tea and coffee stains from mugs.
For tea and coffee lovers, stubborn stains in mugs are a familiar struggle.
These marks, caused by tannins found in tea, coffee, and other beverages can be notoriously tough to clean.
However, one woman has shared an inexpensive and simple hack that costs just 10p to restore stained mugs to their former glory.
Jade Hampton revealed her cleaning tip on the popular "Mrs Hinch Army Cleaning Tips" Facebook page.
In her post, she shared remarkable before-and-after photos of her partner’s work cup, which had accumulated 20 years’ worth of tea stains.
After trying a variety of cleaning methods including bleach, soda crystals, baking soda, and white vinegar with no success, Jade finally discovered Astonish Clean and Revive powder.
She said the results were "astounding" and far exceeded those of traditional bleach.
Jade wrote: "My partner’s work cup before and after. It had 20 years' worth of tea stains (we live in a hard water area) and I had tried bleach, soda crystals, baking soda, and white vinegar to no avail.
"Just one tablespoon of Astonish Clean and Revive powder and it worked far better than bleach."
Howard Moss, CEO of Astonish, has also spoken about the power of the product.
He said: "No scrubbing is required for an easy clean. It leaves no residue or smell. Simply add a tablespoon to hot water and leave until cool."
Astonish Clean and Revive is specifically designed to tackle stains in tea and coffee cups, teapots, and flasks, making it a favorite for those battling dishwasher-resistant marks.

The product retails for £4 on the Astonish website, but shoppers can find it for as low as £2.99 at Robert Dyas and £3 at Ocado—equating to only 10p per 15g usage.
Jade’s tip quickly caught the attention of other cleaning enthusiasts, but she’s not the only one offering affordable solutions.
Another popular suggestion is the use of denture tablets.
One Facebook user on the same Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips page shared a similar hack, recommending that tea-stained mugs be filled with hot water and a dissolved denture tablet.
A pack of 30 Steradent denture tablets costs just £1 at Tesco, meaning each mug can be cleaned for only 3p.
