The secret to removing the stains from multiple surfaces is baking soda: that very cheap staple most people already have lurking in their closets.
cups and teaspoons
Mix two teaspoons of Bicarb with a few drops of water to form a fluffy paste before rubbing the mixture onto stained teacups, mugs, teaspoons, and other kitchen utensils with a soft cloth.
A square cut from an old t-shirt is ideal for the job.
If you don’t have baking soda, you can soak a cloth in white vinegar, dip it in table salt, and use it to wipe away the stains.
To prevent stains from building up, it’s important to rinse them right after use, even if you don’t have time to wash them properly.
carpet
Soak up as much of the stain as possible, then use a special carpet stain removal product.
Spray the product on the stain and leave it on for five minutes. Dab with a clean cloth.
It’s a good idea to test carpet cleaner on a small spot on the carpet first in case it starts discoloring.
dress
First, act quickly and soak up as much liquid as possible with a paper towel or soft cloth.
Do not treat the stain with salt, but blot it with the cloth. If you added milk to your tea, make sure you use cool water as hot water could set the stain due to the proteins in the milk.
Use a clothing stain remover, then wash according to the directions on your clothing.
countertops
The best way to remove a tea stain from a countertop is to use the same baking soda and water mixture you would use for cups and teaspoons.
You can also try using half a lemon dipped in salt on laminate or wood countertops.
Granite and marble countertops should wipe clean fairly easily, but if they’re stained, use a gentler approach.
A dish soap solution should do the trick, or you can use a dedicated countertop cleaner.
