What kind of washing up liquid

[SlowlyButSurely]

Follow this guaranteed method for dealing with the worry of tea stains:

1. Wash the cup up in the usual way.
2. Fill it with beer.
3. Leave to stand for a few moments.
4. Drink the beer.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 until either the stains have gone or you just don't care any more.

BrendanS is spot on with the Steradent (denture cleaner) - as an occasional delivery skipper I have had clients complain about the state of their mugs / cups, claiming that we had stained them, so now I always carry the stuff and get profuse thanks from the more observant ( and less blamey) clients.

Warning - the long tube that the tablets come in can be mistaken for a small flare in the dark.... I leave the rest to your imagination.......

Were these brown stains present before you baled out the turdy tank?

Milton solution works wonders.

Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,
Butting through the Channel in the mad March days,
With a cargo of Tyne coal,
Road-rails, pig-lead,
Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.

suddenly lookout runs in
"Cap'n Cap'n turn to starboard .. some nutter in a yacht's chucking steradent at us!"

Agreed, Milton is the stuff to use.
I hear that on the other (MoBo) forum, Soltron is the answer to all ills /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Milton - diesel bugs

Would it work? Cheaper than Soltron. Seems to kill bugs in the water tank.

Puritabs half one in the cup & fill with hot water

Vaiselle (? spelling)

Given the impending jolly to La Belle France, perhaps you should enquire what washing-up liquids are available there, and whether they are more corrosive, vis-a-vis tea stains, than Hairy Liquid. Anything that can remove cheap red wine stains from Bennytoe house crockery must be pretty powerful. Have you looked in your boat's RCD-mandated manual to check if the manufacturers (can't call them boat builders) specify a particular product?

Re: Vaiselle (? spelling)

Still got the stains on the cabin sole from the cheap australian plonk consumed in Cherbourg with Para! Got there early sat morning, had brekkie,kip,found cheap auusie plonk in locker, consumed it , by the time we realised where we were, Hypermarket was shut! Had to explain shamefacedly on return home why we returned from a booze cruise with less booze than we set off with!

Wonder if the milton/steradent/puratabs would work on cabin sole/bilges as well?

Soak them in Milton. I also take them home once a year and put them in the dishwasher.

buy a Brita water filter and pass all water for tea through it - no more tannin stains and great tasting tea. we've found this out after too many years of foul tasting and tannin floating tea - it's a revelation on board! Bin the stained mugs; the new ones will stay clean. rob.

What kind of tea cut?

Is that noni teacut from the clean and pristine islands of Western Samoa, which unlike Tahiti, is a radioactive-free zone. Does it work with tannin from tetley tea bags as well as Earl Grey residue?

Re: What kind of tea cut?

Dinae go blethering ma secrets mon. Yon puffter Earl knew a thing ar twae aboot waakenin, and ahm right behind him oot ma duvet.

TeaCut goes by the name of Pouder Anglais in Carrefour BTW, Earl Grey goes by the trade name Tasse Ecosse. Don't mix them as Tasse Ecosse won't shift Pouder Anglais residue. Eau Norvegien won't shift either. Hope this helps

Always prefered the denture cleaning tablets myself for this job. My view is they're safe to clean peoples false teeth, there're safe to clean my cups (and tea pot).
