1. Remove tea stains

Tea cups and teapots will form yellow tea stains after being used for a long time. These tea stains that adhere to the inner wall of the tea set are difficult to remove and will become thicker and thicker.

Tea stains contain chromium, lead, arsenic and many other heavy metals that are harmful to the human body, so it is necessary to remove tea stains regularly to benefit our health.

In fact, potato peels are good materials for removing tea stains because they contain a lot of starch. When exposed to high temperatures, starch forms a colloidal solution with adsorption and decontamination capabilities.

The method of use is very simple: put the potato peels in the tea set, pour in boiling water, cover and leave for 5-10 minutes, then pour out the potato peels and rinse the tea set with clean water.
