Here's an easy way to remove those brown tea stains that accumulate in plastic pitchers. Alternate using the pitchers for tea with tomato juice or pineapple juice. The acid in the juices eat the stain off the plastic. Works with plastic glasses, too.

I just whip mine out with baking soda after each use.
A paste of a little baking soda and water do wonders to tea and coffee stains in my mugs. A paste of baking soda is great to scrub out greasy pots and pans. If it's really gunky add a couple of drops of dawn dish liquid. No harsh chemicals needed.
The easiest way I have found to remove those brown stains is bleach. Mix about a tbls of bleach with a little dish detergent, let the pitcher soak for a few mins, the brown stains disappear!
Really good to know. Thank you for taking the time to post this information. Big time thank you!
I used1/4 cup of bleach in hot water...in no time the stains were gone and the pitcher looked new.
I even put the cleaner in a 2 liter and use it over and over again.
So cool.
