What kind of washing up liquid

[jimi]

All my teacups get tannin stains on them on the boat. Does anyone else have this problem? If so what's the best way to deal with it?

Take them home occasionally, and put them through the dishwasher - it'll shift it!

Throw out the plastic ones and buy some proper china mugs.

You have teacups!! And saucers?I feel humbled, I've only just upgraded my old plastic mugs to china ones. But it's still far easier to drink from a bottle.

Have you tried cleaning them with jiff?

Fill'em with a solution of bicarbonate of soda; leave overnight and rinse out.

Or try Oxalic acid - it seems to be recommended for everything else )

The stains stay on the cup cos the water is hard and the calcium sortoff stick aroudn the edges. drips on a bit of Viakal (not too much needed really) from supermarket then rinse and washem. Same applies to non-sparkling sinks and bogs. Make sure any visitors clean the sodding cups properly!

Jif has just been rebranded.

It's now called Syph, but I'm not sure about the spelling.

Re: marketing news

Think it's spelled Cif rather than Syph, but either which way, you need a good dose............

Re: marketing news

No it's cif, but I still prefer to call it Jiff, still one of the best cleaning products to keep on board.

He'll be asking what's best to clean his silver tea spoons next!

I think you'll find she was talking about your "nether regions"

Easy peasy. Buy some of that powdered Steredent stuff (the pink powder that people use for cleaning false teeth with) Fill up a bowl with warm water, mix in some pink powder, and stir. Drop in cups, teaspoons and anything else manky stained and leave to soak (overnight if v bad) Rinse. Perfect.
