Tea stain on the carpet?
Comments (4)Mix equal parts water and hydrogen peroxide, add a squirt of Dawn dishwashing liguid. It will foam up, put in a large container (I use a plastc half-gallon pitcher). Apply foam with a scrub brush, gently rub in with the scrub brush. When it dries, vacuum. This may take 2 applications. This removes all stains and deodorizes....See MoreCoffee/Tea stains on mugs?
Comments (11)I have found that shaking a little baking soda into a damp mug and rubbing it around with my fingertips works wonders! My mother has been doing this for years and it always works. To help prevent stains after the mugs are cleaned, try using spring water to make your tea. Hard water causes tea to stain faster than anything I know. Good luck! I'm guessing your mugs will be shining in no time....See MoreIce Tea Stains in Stainless Steel Sink?
Comments (9)First thing I reach for is the baking soda--it's handy, it's cheap, it's non-toxic and anti-bacterial. And takes care of many stains and tough cleaning problems. If that didn't work, my next choice would be Bar Keeper's Friend--really good product. I like it for polishing my brass handrail on my wrought irong railing. Job used to take me a good half hour with brass polish--BK'sF cuts the time down to about 10 minutes!...See Moretea staining ?
Comments (8)A thin mix of watery glue will stiffen it really solid, as would purchased fabric stiffener. If you just want it slightly stiff, I'd use starch. When I made dolls and wanted "tea-stained" muslin, I used Tan Rit Dye to get the color with no fuss (and no broken tea bags!) If I needed to make it grungier, then I would dab on tea or instant coffee concentrate, but the smell always bothered me a little after that....See Moreebear1271
