   If the lemon peel and salt method doesn’t work, create a baking soda paste.
   
   Mix together baking soda with a little bit of water in a small dish.You want the paste to be thick enough that you can rub it onto the stained area with a cloth or paper towel.
   
   Use some pressure to rub the tea stains out of the dish or cup.
   
   After a few minutes the stain can be rinsed away., Rinse the dish or cup underneath some water to remove baking soda, lemon and salt flavors.Wash the cup as you normally would with some dish detergent and water.
