I would like to share a cleaning tip on how to get rid of tannin stains in your coffee and teacups. Household staples such as baking soda and vinegar can help eliminate these stains. Just mix equal parts of baking soda and vinegar together and let it sit in the cups until it stops bubbling. Use a damp cloth to firmly polish the mixture out. Stubborn stains may require several treatments. Steer clear of using this method on any delicate patterns, glazes, or plastic travel mugs because the abrasive nature of baking soda can cause little scratches to form.

“The rates depend on the room size and number of people.”
“Do you take pets?”
“No, sir, only cash and credit cards.”
