Default Bleaching tableware - ? - !

Having a mug of tea with a mate the other day, I bemoaned the fact that
my beautiful mug (on the outside) had acquired brown stains (on the

He said his Mum used to bleach their cups on a regular basis. I'd heard
of this before, but I've never gone near the idea, for fear of poisoning
myself.

What does The Team Think, please?

When the FIL died we found quite a few tubes of steredent which fortunately
neither of us yet need for their intended purpose.
When a cup or mug begins to look a little grubby a tablet dropped in one
and left overnight brings it up clean.
But there will be nothing wrong using with bleach if it is well rinsed.

OTOH I knew an old marine engineer whose only hot drink was tea drunk black
in a what had Ben a red mug of some years vintage but now had an inside
like a coal bucket.
While a normal wash after use was acceptable woe betide anyone who even
thought about doing a deep clean or putting it through a dishwasher.
