Easy Ways to Wash Out Tea Stains
Baking Soda
Don’t let those annoying coffee and/or tea stains on your good china
spoil another special occasion. Remove them by dip-ping a moist cloth in
baking soda to form a stiff paste and gently rubbing your cups and
saucers. Rinse clean and dry, then set your table with pride.

Beer
Getting that coffee or tea stain out your rug may seem impossible,
but you can literally lift it out by pouring a bit of beer right on top.
Rub the beer lightly into the material, and the stain should disappear.
You may have to repeat the process a couple of times to remove all
traces of the stain.
Salt
Tea and coffee leave stains on cups and in pots. You can easily scrub
away these unattractive rings by sprinkling salt onto a sponge and
rubbing in little circles across the ring. If the stain persists, mix
white vinegar with salt in equal proportions and rub with the sponge.

Vinegar
You can lift out many water-soluble stains-including beer, orange and
other fruit juices, black coffee or tea, and vomit-from your
cotton-blend clothing by patting the spot with a cloth or towel
moistened with undiluted white vinegar just before placing it in the
wash. For large stains, you may want to soak the garment overnight in a
solution of 3 parts vinegar to 1 part cold water before washing.
