CARE OF YOUR CHINA

Tea stains and your cups

Tea stains in cups have always presented a problem. Tea causes an oil buildup on the inside of the cup. Yet, the protective glaze in only as thick as a human hair.

When attempting to remove the stains, it’s important that NO metal scouring devises or chlorine-based bleach to be used. Chlorine bleach will pit the thinly glazed surface.

To maintain a stain-free look, cups must be washed within 30 minutes of use with an oxygen-based bleach. It”s best to use Sysco liquid cleaner pre-soaking solution. Green scouring pads from 3M may also be used.

Follow directions that come with the oxygen-based bleach. We tested Oxiclean (an oxygen-based bleach) and these are their directions.

• Immerse cup in solution for five (5) minutes.
• Do not pour solution into the soiled cup.
• The bleach may not have dissolved evenly in the water.
• Put the cup into the water, rather than the water into the cup.
• Do a test piece first to see of five minutes is sufficient.
• After soaking, scrub soiled area and rinse thoroughly.
