Tea

If stains aren’t exactly your cup of tea, check out the tips below to make them disappear.

Removing tea stains from whites

  • On the go

    • First, rinse stain from the back with cold water. This prevents the stain from sinking deeper into the fabric. Do not use bar soap, which may cause the stain to set.
  • At home

    • Once you get home, pretreat with Clorox® Bleach Pen® Gel for whites. Then soak in cool water for a few minutes. Launder as usual with your favorite detergent on the hottest recommended water setting. Carefully inspect item before machine drying.
