Cleaning Tea Stains Off of Glass Pitcher

RE: Cleaning Tea Stains Off of Glass Pitcher Post by Lainie58 (1) | (09/29/2007) Contact We have the same issue with our coffee decantor. I have found filling the decantor, or in your case your glass pitcher for tea, with water and then place an Electrosol Dishingwashing Detergent tablet in the water to dissolve. Let it sit for an hour or so, then wipe and rinse. You will have a squeeky clean container with no elbow grease needed :-) RE: Cleaning Tea Stains Off of Glass Pitcher Post by hsorbits (73) | (09/29/2007) Profile | Contact I make several pots of tea every day. The easiest way to clean the pots and pitchers is to sprinkle baking soda and salt inside then use a sponge [reserved just for this use] to wipe off all the stains. Use the hottest water from your faucet to thoroughly rinse. Everything is naturaland inexpensive, too. RE: Cleaning Tea Stains Off of Glass Pitcher Post By Lora (Guest Post) (09/29/2007) I used to work as a waitress and we cleaned the glass containers with ice and salt placed directly in the container. You shake the container and roll it gently in your hands so the ice moves around with the salt. It worked well. All you do is rinse when complete.

RE: Cleaning Tea Stains Off of Glass Pitcher Post By ruthvalley gal (Guest Post) (09/28/2007) I have cleaned out vases and pitchers with a tablet of Denture cleanser and filled up with water. Let set for a few hours, shake periodically and then rinse thoroughly. RE: Cleaning Tea Stains Off of Glass Pitcher Post By Margie Minard (Guest Post) (09/28/2007) I find that filling the pitcher with hot water and adding a couple of tablespoons of granulated or gel dishwasher detergent, waiting an hour or so, and swishing with a cloth just makes my coffee carafe sparkle! Be sure to rinse very well. White vinegar may do it, too. RE: Cleaning Tea Stains Off of Glass Pitcher Post By (Guest Post) (09/28/2007) I use clorox clean-up on my tea stained glasses...works very well. Just be careful it is bleach and be sure to rinse well. RE: Cleaning Tea Stains Off of Glass Pitcher Post By Julie - Australia (Guest Post) (09/28/2007) Use salt with a little water. This works well for tea cups too. It does not scratch & is really cheap.

Rub with cloth, tea stains will come right off. RE: Cleaning Tea Stains Off of Glass Pitcher Post by perfumed fan (180) | (09/27/2007) Profile | Blog! | Contact Fill the pitcher with hot water and drop in several denture cleaning tablets (use the cheapest kind you can find). Let sit overnight. Next day, pour the water out and wash the pitcher with a rough wash cloth (I save old ones for things like this). If the stains are built up you may have to do this several times. After that do it once a week for maintenance.
