I removed stubborn teaspoon stains in 1 hour with incredible cleaner under £2

Teaspoons are essential in daily routines, from stirring your morning brew to measuring ingredients while cooking. However, it's typically the chemical compound tannin, present in tea and coffee, that leads to those stubborn discolourations. These marks can also appear in mugs if they're not rinsed immediately after use. Occasionally, even after a thorough clean and a dishwasher cycle, the stains persist. Fortunately, several solutions exist to tackle this problem, although natural methods haven't proved successful for me personally. Consequently, I opted for Elbow Grease's Cup Cleaner, and the results genuinely impressed me. Priced at £1.69 from The Range, the product promises to eliminate tea and coffee stains effortlessly and couldn't be simpler to apply. It's appropriate for ceramic, china and porcelain items, and I tried it on teaspoons as well. The description reads: "Restore your cups to their former glory with this Elbow Grease Cup Cleaner. "This cleaner removes the stubborn stains left behind by tea and coffee, giving your cups the gleaming shine they had before." Initially, I placed half a teaspoon of powder into the cup, added hot water, and left it to fizz. It's crucial not to use boiling water directly from the kettle; allow it to cool slightly beforehand. I then added all the teaspoons that needed cleaning and left them to cool for one hour. Following the hour-long soak, the water had turned completely brown with all of the stains lifted from the teaspoons. I then gave all of the teaspoons a thorough rinse before returning them to my cutlery drawer. The results were genuinely impressive, and remarkably, they haven't required any further cleaning since.
