Tea and coffee lovers know all too well the frustration of persistent stains tarnishing their favourite mugs, leaving behind those dreaded dark rings. Tannins are those pesky plant compounds found in our beloved brews, as well as chocolate and wine. But fear not, for your treasured cup need not be permanently blemished.

Jade Hampton became a sensation on the Mrs Hinch Army Cleaning Tips Facebook group by revealing her secret weapon against a partner's work mug that had accumulated 20 years of tea stains. Despite a losing battle with bleach, soda crystals, baking soda, and white vinegar, it was Astonish Clean and Revive powder that finally did the trick, reports the Express.

The transformation was nothing short of "astounding", especially given the long-standing nature of the stains. Sharing her success, Jade posted: "My Partner's work cup before and after. Had 20 years worth of tea stains (we live in a hard water area) and had tried bleach, soda crystals, baking soda and white vinegar to no avail."

"Just one tablespoon of Astonish Clean and Revive powder and it worked far better than bleach." Howard Moss, the big boss at Astonish, has even weighed in on the product's prowess to Express.co.uk, boasting: "The specially tailored formula is made to banish ingrained stains with minimal effort. No scrubbing is required for an easy clean. Leaves no residue and no smell. Simply add a tablespoon and hot water and leave until cool." Astonish Specialist Clean and Revive is touted as the go-to solution for "tea and coffee cups, teapots, flasks plus much more".

It promises to "banish ingrained stains that dishwashers leave behind, restoring items to like new". Bargain hunters can snag the Astonish Clean and Revive powder for a steal at just £2.39, slashed from its original price of £2.99 at Robert Dyas that's only 10p per 15g usage. Alternatively, shoppers can opt to buy directly from the Astonish website, though it comes with a heftier price tag of £4.
