What is an easy way to get tea/coffee stains out of mugs?

My first year at university, the cleaning woman used to offer to
clean our mugs "by magic" if we would close our eyes.

She used an abrasive cleanser (comet, etc).  It works.

Stains in coffee/tea mugs vanish instantly with a mild bleach solution.

Another interesting fact I read yesterday - an article in the paper
said that old tea that is sitting around can be used to clean chrome
appliances.  If someone would care to try this and report back, we'd
all be interested.  Unplug the appliance first.

Ordinary household bleach should work.
Or you might try a product like Bon Ami
available at grocery stores.

you can also remove stains from mugs, ceramic /porcelain 
sinks by sprinkling on comet and letting set overnight. no
scrubbing, just be sure to lightly dampen area to be 
cleaned before using comet. it's a lazy way to do it,
but leaves more time for hacking!
