We drink a lot of tea and coffee and all of our mugs get terribly stained. I homebrew beer and use Pro Brewery Wash (PBW) to clean up after a brew day. I discovered that it also works wonders on stained mugs.

To clean coffee and tea stains on mugs (NOT teeth) put a tablespoon of PBW in half a gallon of hot water. Not boiling, only like as hot as your hands can stand. Soak the mug for 15-30 minutes and the stain wipes right off. It has never damaged any of the printing on the mugs.

You can get it at any homebrew shop or online.

Barkeeper’s Friend works a treat too on stained mugs no soaking required. Available at most grocers, targets, etc.
