Here’s a fact that sounds fake but is terrifyingly true: denture cleaning tablets obliterate tea stains better than most commercial cleaners. Drop one tablet into a stained mug of warm water, watch it fizz like a miniature volcano, and wait 10 minutes. The stains lift off like they’re surrendering to a higher power.
I learned this from a retired dental hygienist who swore by it for her antique teacups. She also insisted that the same tablets clean dentures, retainer, and—I quote—“your whole dang life.” Just don’t use the mint-flavored ones unless you want your morning Earl Grey to taste like a hospital waiting room.
