Treat stains properly from the beginning
Coffee stains on cups are a common situation in many families, especially for people who regularly use tea or coffee. However, cleaning is not complicated if the method is applied correctly.
Daniel Brown - CEO at Handy Cleaners (UK), recommends: "Wipe the cup with cold water first to soften the stain and prevent it from sticking deeper into the surface.
After this step, baking soda is considered an effective "assistant". Just mix a spoonful of flour with a few drops of water to create a paste. According to Daniel Brown: "Baking soda has mild abrasive properties, enough to remove stains without scratching the cup.
Using the correct ratio is an important factor. If the mixture is too diluted, the cleaning effect will be significantly reduced.
Clean gently and maintain the durability of the cup
When the mixture is ready, the user uses a soft sponge to apply evenly to the stainted area and gently scrubs in circular motions. To increase effectiveness, it should be kept for 10-15 minutes before continuing to clean.
Then, wash the cup with warm water to completely remove dirt. For stubborn stains, you can repeat the procedure or increase the impact time.
Eliana Coca - a sanitation expert and owner of EC House Cleaning (USA), said: "Start with the gentlest method, then increase the level of cleaning if necessary to avoid damaging the surface.
In addition to baking soda, white vinegar is also an effective alternative. Soaking a cup in a solution of vinegar and water in a 1:1 ratio for about 10 minutes can help remove stains.
Regularly cleaning cups not only keeps items clean and beautiful but also ensures health safety. With these simple steps, the familiar cup can quickly return as new.
