Over the years I’ve switched between coffee and tea as my tastes changed but the mug always gotten stained no matter what I was drinking. It’s been with me everywhere, including sailing 6500 ocean miles between the US Northeast, Bermuda and the Caribbean. I’ve had the same stainless steel travel mug for about 22 years. By the way, my initial idea for using the false teeth cleaning tablets came from wanting to clean an old favorite ceramic coffee mug. ![]() Unfortunately, I cannot recommend any particular brand of false teeth cleaner as I haven’t used that to clean my thermos or carafe for a long time – I do not remember which brands I had found worked best. They are designed to be used on dentures I think that means they should be highly unlikely to leave any residue that if not completely removed and then subsequently consumed would be harmful. An alternative to the dishwashing compound that also works is false teeth cleaner tablets. I never experienced the bad taste problem but I did consider the possibility of the compound possibly soaking into the stainless steel, altering the inherent ‘non-porousity’ of the metal, or perhaps leaving a difficult to remove film on it. I have been using the automatic dishwasher compound to clean stainless steel carafe/thermos for years. ![]()
