Or use a dishwasher then it never builds up ;D

you can buy de tanning powder from most chemical companies it comes in 15kg buckets , but recently we used Seldon Research product called Spray & Wipe with bleach it comes in a 750ml spray bottle, just spray into tea cup leave for a few minutes then wipe inside with a mild scourer then wash out, looks like new . not sure where you are from but there is Seldon distributors all over the UK, if yo cannot find anyone go to their website and they will give you the nearest dealer

the product spray and wipe with bleach has very little bleach in comparrison to the othe ingredients, we have used this for many years and have had no problems with cleaning of cups

Hi Lewis

Magic eraser pads just use with water and scrub the inside of cup or mug, amazing results with just water also great for removing tea stains from spoons, we have offered these amazing deep cleaning pads at special prices to forum members on another post. if anyone requires any information on these amazing cleaning pads email info@jskcleaning.ie

Kind regards

Tadgh
