Isn't is the lemon? You can use this to 'bleach' your hair so why not 'bleach' your cups with it?Your home is at risk if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or other loan secured on it.0

It probably is the lemon. I never knew you could use so many things in a different way than they are 'supposed' to be used.

I am not keen on using normal household bleach so I used Milton Sterilising liquid (the stuff from the baby aisle) and that worked fine.
Was great for getting stains off the worktops too.0 -
Value price denture tablets. They work great on the white cups. I use them in the stainless steel flask as well. 1/2 a tablet or less should be enough.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member # 593 - Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts!0

Wash-up offending item as normal, put some bicarb on & rub to a paste over the stained part, rinse off & wash again - sparkling stain-free items without the smell of bleach!0
