Can this cup be bleached without damaging? The inside of our cups are stained from tea. I remember the insert said something about bleach.

I use baking soda to get tea stains out of my cup, not sure about bleach...

I'm not sure what the insert said about bleach, but I've been able to clean mine with the "Magic Eraser" with just water pretty good. You may want to try that first.

I would say since you have already opened the Oxyclean (to find the shattered cup) it might be a tad difficult to return (spillage and all) ... in the meantime, let Amazon know what happened so they have a heads up (they are truly wonderful with customer service they are very quick to respond. In the meantime, 1/3 to 1/2 cup should be fine. And.. like the other response said, a really bad stain may not come out the first time around but give it another spin thru the wash cycle and it fade away. Oxyclean is a really good product ... and Amazon is very good at working to keep customers happy.

Anything that has bleach in it will, over time, cause deterioration. Bleach is fine on porcelain, and other non porous surfaces. I suggest plain old water and a detergent. or a disinfectant spray.

From my experience with the cup, I never had an issue with that. And there were times when I wanted my tea really really hot cuz it would brew better, I never really felt the hot water in the cup.l nor did I never get burned from the cup. I think what it's made out of is specifically l for that purpose.

I've been using it almost every day for two months and it hasn't stained. Unfortunately, there's no real way to take the leaves out while there's liquid inside, but that hasn't been an issue for me, I just take them out after I'm done drinking my tea. For me, this tumbler was totally worth it; it's made loose leaf tea so much more convenient and you can just throw some leaves and hot water in there and enjoy it at or on the way to work and school (plus, you can use it for other beverages too).

Yes they do come out stain free. I love them and have purchased them for about 12 years. I have many types cups in china, etc. but for my morning coffee this cup is it!

I've had mine for over 6 years. On a daily basis, I just rinse it in the sink, collar and all. Over time (months?) the glass will develop a coffee stain on the inside with my daily method, so every once in a blue moon I get motivated with a bottle brush and soap to clean the stain away. Over six years of this, and the collar is just fine.

I just checked, the bottom of the pot says dishwasher and microwave safe. I have never made tea in a microwave, so I can't comment on that. Also, I hand wash all my tea cups and teapots because I find tea stains get set in the dishwasher. I use a denture tablet to remove tough teapot stains.

No they don't, and quite frankly I'm changing my review of these cups...they've stained badly and we have to use copper cleaner on them all the time to make them look half-way presentable on the outside...the inside there's not much you can do. Not happy with the purchase over time.

Hello Jenny, I just checked underside of bowl and they do not say "dishwasher safe", however I use them in the dishwasher all the time. My plates and glasses that I put in the dishwasher don't specify that either, so not sure if it matters. These bowls are wonderful, I make my Matcha tea in one every morning!

I put mine through the dishwasher every so often and it comes out like new. I do use milk in both coffee and tea, hence little problem of staining.

Don't know on the characters, but I can answer on the cleaning part. I drink green tea and it didn't take long to permanently stain the mug. And no, it's not fragile at all.

I've had my cups for a few years now and the markings are just a clear as they were the day I bought them. And I don't treat them gingerly either. They are thrown in the washer, left to soak in soapy water, scrubbed with rough scrubbers. I can scratch it with my fingernail and it won't budge!

Absolutely not dishwasher safe. The outer plastic side wall below the rim of the cup splits and breaks open a bit. I've ruined two mugs that way, and I'm currently shopping for a dishwasher safe mug.

I found using Goof off does a really good job and doesn't damage the cup. You might also try polish remover, too.

Actually, I don'tworry about it. Clean the inside with a scotch bright type sponge. The black outside of the cup is inevitable, but actually helps conduct heat. All my cookwear has blackend exteriors.
