Do Dishwashing Tablets remove tea stains?Updated 2 hours ago

TL;DR: No, Dishwashing Tablets are not designed to remove tea tannin stains; use Universal Cleaner instead, then wash mugs before drinking from them.

Why Dishwashing Tablets do not remove tannins

Tea stains come from tannins that can cling to ceramic and porcelain. Dishwashing Tablets are great for everyday food and grease, but they are not targeted tannin removers, so results are usually limited.

What we recommend instead

For tea-stained mugs, we recommend Universal Cleaner.

• Apply Universal Cleaner to the stained area
• Wipe or gently scrub
• Rinse well

Wash before consuming

After cleaning, wash the mug thoroughly (as you normally would) before using it for drinking.
