The Simplest Trick to Effortlessly Recover a Tea-Stained Cup

Save it for later!

We can love tea and drink it all day long, but find ourselves hating it when it comes time to clean the cup and we think it is unrecoverable because of the stains (what a shame… our favorite with the cute drawing or the message funny!). It is at the cost of many efforts that we can finally remove these brown marks and save said cup. But as grandmother often has back pain (and especially because she suffers from acute laziness, let’s face it), she obviously has her little trick for getting a cup without too much effort.

What you need:

  • A toothbrush dedicated to household use
  • Toothpaste

The steps:

1) If you like cups with a more rounded shape or you often use the toothbrush in your household, you can easily give it an angled appearance so that it slips into corners more easily. To do this, dip it in boiling water for 1 minute, give it the desired shape then dip it in cold water.

2) Place a little toothpaste on your toothbrush and moisten the cup.
