Remove coffee stains from Tervis plastic mugs
Does anyone know how to get coffee stains out of mugs? They are the Tervis plastic mugs.
If a paste of straight baking soda and water and a soft sponge doesn't work, try using soaking the mugs in soda and warm vinegar (white or apple). If this doesn't work, try a denture tablet. Try to stay on top of the stains with a treatment of baking soda every week or so.
Fill almost to brim with warm/hot water. A few drops of bleach in water. Soak 'til stain lifted. Use scourer/sponge to wipe out during rinse, wash, rinse... Hope this helps.

I use this one on my mugs, and glass coffee pot. Pour a small amount of bleach in each cup and fill with hot tap water. Let it sit 1 hr, and that's it, rinse and wash with dish detergent. Good Luck!
Use. CLR
Bleach is the fastest and best way . just put 2 Tbs of bleach with 1 cups of water , and let it sit 10 minutes and transfer to the next mug. ( no need to throw away.) same method is great for all tea stain and color food stain l.
I use 1/4 cup bleach do not add any water, put in one mug at a time swish around in each mug pour into next mug repeat until all mugs are bleached. Wash and rinse they will be like new.
I use baking soda and vinegar. Let it sit for several hours. Rinse and wash.
A little bleach should do the trick...just make sure that you clean the mug with soapy hot water after.
This happened to me, and what really happened is the glaze from the old mug degraded and the stain was in the material of the mug. Because you may not know what the mug was made of, it may be time to chuck it or find a neat project use for the mug.
all of the above are good suggestions, especially the paste of baking soda and white vinegar. I have used this many times, however, The Dollar Tree, has a product called Awesome, (not to be confused with totally awesome products) it is a yellowish color and cleans everything from stains to concrete. maybe a last resort. good luck.
I have a Christmas mug (large) that I used all year round that was stained so bad from tea, that I finally broke down and poured a little bleach in it and filled it with water, let it sit for a day or two and poof! stains gone. Wash well afterwards.
Greased lightening also works great on coffee stains, no need to soak on most just spray a small amount on a paper towel and wipe away! I had a heavily greasy plastic bottle which I did just that and the grease wiped away!! I love it to soak and clean my stove burner plates, works great. You can buy it at the dollar stores too!!
I use a little bleach and soak it, works great.
