My little vintage crockery collection is growing somewhat but although they've received a good soapy wash, some of the cups have got a lovely nice tea stained rim on the bottom of them where they stand on the saucer. Does anyone know how I can get rid of this?

Many thanks in advance.

Steradent tablets, also they are great for removing toilet stains, just chuck a couple down the pan overnight.
