If you're anything like us who drink an excessive amount of coffee each day, you would notice that your coffee glass, mugs, and basically, any other container where you regularly pour your coffee into picks up stains from the beverage over time.
For the most part, we try to get rid of these stains by tirelessly scrubbing the insides of our containers in a bid that it will be squeaky clean again, only to get disappointed because it still lingers on the glass surface after all of that effort.
So, if you're tired of getting frustrated over this irksome task, then we've got good news for you!
TikTok user Kristopher Juniel, who posts under the username @problemsolved, shared a hassle-free hack for cleaning coffee stains from the insides of any container.

"Over time, anything you put coffee in can pick up coffee stains. Here's how to get rid of coffee stains in hard water," he says in the video.
Kristopher reveals that he only uses denture tablets to get rid of the stains, emphasising that you don't need to exert effort into scrubbing them.
In his video, the TikTok user says that all you need to do is to pour water into the container, pop a couple of denture tablets in it, and let it sit for at least 15 minutes or longer for tough stains before rinsing it.
"Just like that, clean and good as new!" he says.

For those who don't have any denture tablets on hand, don't stress!
Kristopher also suggests that you can use baking soda as a substitute, but with some caveats — baking soda cannot perform the similar cleaning action of the denture tablets so you would need to exert some effort to scrub the insides of your container to clean it.
Aside from coffee maker glasses and mugs, the TikTok user claims that the hack can also be used for cleaning thermoses.
