Remove tea cup stains in no time using an affordable yet unusual 87p drugstore item
Tea and coffee can leave unsightly marks that are tough to remove, making even the best-looking mugs seem worn out.
If your favourite tea cup set is looking a little worse for wear and covered in stains, there’s an easy and budget-friendly way to restore their shine.
A simple 87p drugstore item that packs a powerful punch against discolouration without breaking the bank.
This quick solution not only saves you time but also keeps your cleaning routine hassle-free and the scrubbing to a minimum.
What you'll need
- Denture cleaning tablet
- Warm water
- A soft sponge or cloth
Instructions
Start by filling the stained mug with warm water, leaving some space at the top.
Drop one denture cleaning tablet into the warm water.
Allow the mug to soak for about 15-30 minutes. The effervescent action of the tablet will help lift the stains.
After soaking, use a soft sponge or cloth to gently scrub the inside of the mug. Stains should come off easily.

Rinse the mug thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue from the tablet.
Wipe the mug dry with a clean cloth or let it air dry. For tougher stains, you can repeat the process or let the tablet soak longer.
This method is safe for most types of mugs, but avoid using it on delicate materials unless you’re sure it’s safe.
Denture tablets are available at various UK retailers, including Superdrug, which sells them for 87p, and Boots, where they cost just £1.
