Can this cup be bleached without damaging? The inside of our cups are stained from tea. I remember the insert said something about bleach.

I use baking soda to get tea stains out of my cup, not sure about bleach...

I'm not sure what the insert said about bleach, but I've been able to clean mine with the "Magic Eraser" with just water pretty good. You may want to try that first.

In my experience, yes! I clean mine for daily use. So far, nothing has stained it.

I have used the cups for coffee, tea, herbal teas, grape juice, and several other fruit juices, eaten different foods from them and they are as clean and clear as they were when I purchased them 2 or 3 months ago. There are no signs of any type of stains on the cups. Norm Rohrabaugh

From my experience with the cup, I never had an issue with that. And there were times when I wanted my tea really really hot cuz it would brew better, I never really felt the hot water in the cup.l nor did I never get burned from the cup. I think what it's made out of is specifically l for that purpose.

I would say since you have already opened the Oxyclean (to find the shattered cup) it might be a tad difficult to return (spillage and all) ... in the meantime, let Amazon know what happened so they have a heads up (they are truly wonderful with customer service they are very quick to respond. In the meantime, 1/3 to 1/2 cup should be fine. And.. like the other response said, a really bad stain may not come out the first time around but give it another spin thru the wash cycle and it fade away. Oxyclean is a really good product ... and Amazon is very good at working to keep customers happy.

I have but it discolored. Since teaballs discolor anyway it didn't matter. Just make sre it doesn't get crushed or bent out of shape. They really are easy to wash by hand as well.

Tetley doesn't stain any more than any other "black" teas. If you are comparing it to green teas or herbal teas, then of course it stains more. Just remember that ALL black teas stain.

Mine has only been used for tea. It is a very sturdy mug and I wouldn't think there would be a problem if it were used for coffee. If you are worried about coffee stains, I think tea stains are as bad- and so far, I haven't had a problem with tea stains. Hope that helps!

I've used bleach a few times, with no noticeable wear. Brightened them up and removed minor stains. But as another user said, I would not do it regularly.

I noticed that coffee will stain it. But I put a little bleach on it and its back to new again.

No. I really like my cup. I've had no problems with it & put it in the dishwasher sleeve & all.

I cannot say for sure, but I don't think so. I have had ours for quite a while and have used several cleaners on them. While I don't think any of them had bleach, I do use bleach cleaner for the toilet bowl and I know it has splashed on the seat, and it hasn't done any damage. So while I can't say 100%, I think bleach would probably be fine. Hope that helps. :)

Yes, it stains rather quickly. It is fixable though, I do a deep clean with a cleaner meant to remove coffee buildup (people say a tiny amount of bleach would work too) once a week. But I spend most if the week with a tea-stained mug.

Use baking soda and hot, hot water. Let it sit for 10 minutes or so and then rinse with warm water afterwards.Will be good as new. I use mine for Iced tea and can get quite awful looking if not cleaned thoroughly.

We have not had a problem with any staining at all. I suppose if it did you could use a tiny bit of bleach to get it out & then run it through the dishwasher.

No they don't, and quite frankly I'm changing my review of these cups...they've stained badly and we have to use copper cleaner on them all the time to make them look half-way presentable on the outside...the inside there's not much you can do. Not happy with the purchase over time.

My box of Sleepytime Tea has printed on it, "Best used by April 2016"" and I received it last month. I had another k-cup for a long while and I found that if I 'massaged' the cup, it was perfectly fine. I can't imagine it will go bad.
