bleach + water
Baking soda and white vinegar! Also great for drinking glasses that are looking a little dull!

I'd let the mugs sit with cleaning vinegar for at least 24 hours, then rinse and clean thoroughly with hot water and dish soap. I have also used Barkeepers in the powder form and was very successful cleaning old dingy coffee mugs. Always rinse with clean hot water. Best of luck.
Just sprinkle some baking soda clean with a wet dish cloth or sponge. Comes right off coffee pots an coffee mugs. No need to soak.
Use a Mr.Clean"Magic Eraser" removes all stains
Caveat: Don't mix vinegar and baking soda. It creates a chemical reaction that will clean your drains!
I have put some dishwasher detergent and water and let it soak overnight and it worked. Of course, now I use gel packs for the dishwasher so I bought a very small bottle at the $ store. That detergent is more concentrated.
Do you have a dishwasher? Cascade Platinum! It's amazing!

I use white vinegar in my mugs, discolored glasses, coffee pot filter and anything else that is stained .
My husband's thermos gunk's up with coffee deposits. I just put in some liquid dish detergent and fill with boiling water. (When out of liquid I use powder detergent. Do not use the capsule detergents.) Let stand to soak out gunk stains & then clean & rinse as usual. Works every time & you will be surprised at what comes out when you empty.
I always use a Brillo pad.
Why not bleach? you can soak it for days with everything else or just put a tiny bit of bleach and clean it in seconds...it also rinses totally clean and it will kill any bacteria, fungus, or viruses. scrubbing it with abrasive pads could just scratch the interior and it will collect more stain.
I just sprinkle some salt in the cup/mugs and just wipe with your dish cloth rinse well. Most mugs/cups get stains in them after frequent use and dish washing machines don't always clean properly. Whichever you use make sure you give your mugs a thorough rinse.
Comet cleanser works fast!

YOu could try Barkeeper's Friend or Cerama Bryte cleaners.
