How to Remove TEA STAINS on Clothes

Removing Tea Stains from fabric

Use Vinegar. Apply vinegar directly to the wet stain. Allow the vinegar to soak in for 30 minutes to dissolve the stain and then rinse once more. Once stain is removed, launder as usual.
Use Baking Soda. While the stain is still wet, apply a thick layer of baking soda directly to the stain. The powder will absorb any remaining tea, drawing the color out of the clothing and into the powder.
Leave overnight, and then scrape the powder off. Most of the stain should be removed.
Use an Oxidizing Stain Remover (like OxiClean)... Soak the stain in a solution of an oxidizing stain remover and cold water as directed on the product label.
On white clothes, put lemon juice on the stain, let it sit 15 minutes then use the boiling water method
If the fabric will withstand hot water, secure the fabric tightly with a rubber band over a bowl or mug. Carefully pour boiling water through the spot from about 6 inches or so above. This will flush out the stain. Use care not to burn yourself.
