This Morning: Lynsey Crombie talks tackling tough stains<\/h3>\n

There is nothing better than a cup of tea to start the day, but it can be frustrating if your favourite mug is covered in stains that seem impossible to remove.<\/p>\n

The reason mugs develop ugly brown stains on the inside is because of tannins, chemical compounds found in tea, coffee and\u00a0other hot drinks. Tannins are harmless but can be incredibly tricky to get rid of once it has stained a mug for a long time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Luckily, there is a simple way to remove tannin tea stains without having to spend ages scrubbing away according to Wendy Graham, a sustainability expert and book author on household cleaning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On her website Moral Fibres, Wendy wrote: \u201cI am partial to a cup of tea and I\u2019ve found that no matter how well \u2013 and how often \u2013 you wash your cups and mugs, they do often develop these tannin stains.<\/p>\n

\u201cThankfully, over the years I\u2019ve found the best ways to remove tea stains from cups, cheaply, naturally and easily in just 30 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

How to remove tough stains from your teacups and mugs\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The secret to quickly banishing brown stains from your tea cups and coffee mugs is to use sofa crystals, which are also called washing soda.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Soda crystals are made when you combine salt water and limestone, which results in a chemical reaction that produces an easy and natural way to remove stains without using harsh chemicals on your cups.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wendy wrote: \u201cSimply add one teaspoon of soda crystals to the cup, and then fill the cup or mug with boiled water straight from the kettle.<\/p>\n

\u201cStir to dissolve the soda crystals, and leave the solution to soak in the cup for at least half an hour.\u201d<\/p>\n
