OK. I've tried bleach, oxi, bicarb, etc. All they do is bleach the
stain white. Bicarb doesn't even do that. Problem is, the material
leaves a glaze of stain which is still there, it's jes bleached
white, so looks gone.

I've found not bleaching the stain and actually removing the thin
patina of stain with mild abrasives to be a better solution. I use a
dobie pad. I think my best defense is to not drink blk teas or even
use my more valuble cups.

Thanks fer the help.
