    Nice job on the cleaning and the video. Your assistant did very well! Another common household cleaner that works very well are denture cleaning tablets. As a retired dentist, I use denture cleaning tablets to clean lots of things. They are designed to break down and remove organic material and stains without damaging metals or plastics. They also do not leave a soapy aftertaste or smell. And 90 tablets of the generic store brands cost $3.99 USD. Cheaper and less caustic than the dishwasher tablets.

      Oooooh, thank U so much, Gr8 tip.!! My SS Thermous (no glass inside) is gross, just like this guy's SS Mug. I wouldn't ever have thought of denture cleaning tablets. Ur a real gem 😂🎉

    Forget baking soda and vinegar and anything else you've heard, this is *amazing* - one hour and my cups are like new, no scrubbing whatsoever. Thank you so, so much for the tip!

    There is a whole internet full of people telling us to use baking soda and vinegar....crap doesn't work! Love your method, it actually works!!!!!! Your video itself is excellent; Using scientific methods and documenting them, teaching your own children this way, and sharing with everybody else, You rock!!!

    Perfect! This is the absolutely perfect solution I've been looking for for years. I have two stainless mugs, so I broke the dishwasher tablet in two and used one half in each. It still worked like magic. Thank you and your very helpful assistant!

    Tried your method an hour ago. Worked perfectly with the dishwasher pack. I was skeptical naturally as other methods did not work, specifically the baking soda and white vinegar. My yeti was severely coffee stained. It now shines as bright as new. No scrubbing needed at all. As soon as I poured the hot water on the pack to the top I could see the brown bubbles starting. Thank you and your assistant very much. Super easy!

      @@kathyh635 As the tablet is rather big, you can try reusing the soapy water (maybe reaheat it in the glass too).

    This was a really helpful video, thank you. My tall, thin, stainless steel Thermos flask was coated with a brown tea stain, despite my best efforts with vinegar, soda crystals and a bottle brush etc.
    I followed your instructions and Hey Presto I now have what looks like a brand new flask. I only used about 1/3 of a tablet for a 500ml flask but it worked perfectly. The other 2/3 went into a load of dishes and again, the dishes were as clean as usual, so this method cost literally nothing. To break the tablet, bash it with the end of a wooden spoon while it’s still in the little sachet (or if not in a sachet, perhaps break it the same way?).
    Anyway, many thanks for the only solution (geddit? 😉) that worked. Even the helpful customer service team at Thermos weren’t able to solve my problem, while you and your fine assistant Rena did the trick! ☺️ 🙏

      Call the Customer Service folks back & tell them what U used. They most likely get loads of calls from bewildered ppl. They'll appreciate U. A Dentist here said he/she uses denture cleaning tablets & it does the smell exact cleaning job. Tell the Customer Service ppl that too. Take care 😊

    You and your delightful assistant just made my life so much easier! I have a 16 oz Contigo that looks just as stained inside from tea. In the past, baking soda with a bit of water worked very well but it involved a lot of scrubbing, my hand can't reach all the way to the bottom, and I have a skin sensitivity to baking soda. I tried your hack with a more natural brand (called Attitude) and the results were just as amazing! I was worried at first because it didn't have as many bubbles right away but, within minutes, it was foaming up and over the sides. 👍👍

    Criminal how easy that was & how well it worked. Thank you! Did have an issue afterwards with the now shiny mug smelling like the dishwasher pod even after a couple extra scrubbings & rinses with boiling water. Likely just the brand pod I used, but solved that issue with a denture cleaning tablet; filled the mug with hot (not boiling) water again, dropped in the tab, let it steep for another hour, and voila no more odor.

    I use 2 Thermos brand cups/mugs that I use on a daily basis, one to carry my tea and the other coffee to the office. I would clean it up with a brush and liquid dishsoap every day, but, even then there were tea and coffee stains that had built up in both Thermoses. I hadnt seen your video yet, so I washed out my Thermoses with dishwashing soap one day, then out a scoop of Oxyclean powder into each Thermos, added boiling water to each, and let it sit for about an hour. Like in your video, when I poured out the water/Oxyclean mixture, I saw a lot of brown colored gunk come out, and then I realised that most of the stains were gone!!! I then filled the Thermoses with some hot, soapy water, and scrubbed vigorously with a bottle brush to remove any remaining coffee/tes gunk that remained, and then rinsed the Thermoses out with fresh water. The Thhermoses were clean as a whistle, clean as when I had first bought them from the store!!!:):):) I was very pleased that just a bit of stuff from our home laundry room allowed me to clean the Thermoses up, without having to order stuff from Amazon.
    Cheers, Chris.

    This worked so well and it's so EASY! I used powdered dw detergent. The mug I use for tea was terrible inside. Before I tried this, I'd tried scrubbing and vinegar, and the stains/scum didn't look any different. When I was done with this, it looked like new and I didn't have to scrub at all. Thank you!

    The instructions that come with my Thermos only said to try bicarbonate soda. Which just made it blacker inside.
    I did this trick with dishwashing tablet, and it ALL came off, no scrubbing at all.
    AMAZING.
    Thank you, thank you.
    (I nearly threw it out!)

  • @cremedelacreme.
    @cremedelacreme. ปีที่แล้ว

    This worked. Amazing! Thank you. I tried baking soda, vinegar, boiling water with minimal results. As soon as I added boiling water to the dishwashing pod i could see the tea stains come off. I waited an hour per yours recommendation and it looks brand new inside. It may take less than an hour but I didn't want to risk it and have to start again.

I thought I'd have a look to see if anyone had any "hacks" before I did and found this video. Tried it this morning and I'm literally amazed!! This is the best thing that's happened to me this month, hands down, yes I am in my 30's 😂😂 thank you, I am currently sat enjoying my first cup of tea in months from my beautiful cup 🎉❤

    Thank you Chris, I just tried that. In chem lab we used 60% nitric acid, which is harder to get since 9/11, and stainless is immune tk that but almost everything else dissolves and comes off immediately.
    Including flesh, lungs, and concrete floors, which makes it a bit overkill to use in the kitchen.
    My coffee always came off easily, but oh! These tea stains had been impossible. After an hour or two with the dishwasher pod...SPARKLING NEW! Just needed a little scrubbing in the bottom corners.

    It was difficult for me to hear the chemical used to remove the tea stains. I don't use dishwashing pods. However, after reading all of the comments, someone said that using dishwashing liquid worked, too. It would be helpful to review the steps at the end of your demonstration or list the products used to accomplish this fantastic fete. Thank you for sharing this valuable cleaning hack.
