household cleaning tip of the day

Are your mugs hopelessly tea- or coffee-stained? Are you tired of scrubbing them out with baking soda to minimal improvement?

Today's discovery: Electrasol dishwasher powder works wonders on tea stains. Simply pour a small amount (teaspoon or two) into the offending mug, add warm water, swish around and wipe with a paper towel. Your mug will look brand new. Just be sure to rinse well.

Today's tip is courtesy of my workplace kitchen, where regular dishsoap has been MIA for three weeks now.

Dishsoap, you will not be forgotten.
