"When your favorite coffee mug winds up with unsightly brown stains on the inside, the last thing you want to do is damage the cup by cleaning it too harshly. To remove those stubborn stains without resorting to abrasive cleaners, denture tablets can come to the rescue. It sounds odd, but tons of tea and coffee lovers swear by the product for its stain-removing power."
"To clean your mugs, place one denture tablet inside (or two if you're cleaning a large or very heavily stained cup). Pour in some hot water, and the tablet should bubble and fizz to signify that it's been activated. Let the mixture sit overnight, then dump the water out. Gently clean the mug's interior with a sponge or cloth and rinse well, and it'll be sparkling-clean and ready to carry your homemade cafe lattes once more."
Denture tablets remove coffee and tea stains from mugs made of plastic, ceramic, metal, glass, and porcelain. The tablets contain stain-fighting ingredients similar to laundry detergent but are gentler on surfaces. Typical use involves placing one or two tablets in the mug, adding hot water to activate bubbling and fizzing, letting it soak (often overnight), dumping the water, and gently scrubbing and rinsing. The method also works on stained coffee pots and plastic lids for tumblers and thermoses. Water bottle cleaning tablets perform similarly with 15–30 minute soaks and higher cost. A 90-count Efferdent box sells for around $4.50.
