does this tray stain from glasses with cold drinks sitting on it...does it makes 'ring' stains?

No it doesn't. I've used it for cold drinks/hot drinks. My kids had spilled juice and everything else on it and you just run it under some warm water and it looks great as before. Most of the time I just wipe it down with a paper towel with some bamboo cleaning spray and it's good as new. Hope that helps!

No but keep in mind it is not a flat surface, it has grooves. also I was disappointed by the quality of this item. When I received it, the bottom needed to be glued. It isn't real sturdy.

I put a hot coffee cup on it everymorning and water bottles during the day as well as a laptop it looks as good now as the day I got it.

Haven't used it yet (it is just sitting on my ottoman looking great!) Material does not look like it would stain or mark.

No it didn't stain. I mean it'll get some residue on them but they're washable. :]

I gotta tell you... I love this set but its funny you mention it. Sometimes when they come out of the dishwasher, one piece will have a little spot of rust. But it wipes right off. Not sure why it happens. But I don't mind it, they are so shiny and nice. I don't have any issues with staining.

Staining was a non-issue for me. They dry quickly on a paper towel and there were no blue stains on my fingers when I held it to rinse under the water. And what I set on top of it to keep it flat did not stain either.

I'm having a problem with staining on the hard plastic under the bit valve. There is a dark brown ring stain that won't come clean with bleach. Although I know it is clean, I don't like the looks of the dark brown ring, which is visible through the bite value. Has anyone found a way to remove this stain?

I run mine through the dishwasher once a month but just hand wash in between. I use mine daily and have never had any problem with staining or odors.

It is on the dark side but light enough that you see grain patterns. I have been using these frequently as trays for about a year and though there have been spills on them there are no stains. I'm very happy with them.

I don't know I've never had a stain on mine. If mine were stained I would cry.........maybe soda water and damp cloth????????

I have used the cups for coffee, tea, herbal teas, grape juice, and several other fruit juices, eaten different foods from them and they are as clean and clear as they were when I purchased them 2 or 3 months ago. There are no signs of any type of stains on the cups. Norm Rohrabaugh

lm said on October 8, 2014 | Edit Jane: I make ice tea every day and always have at least two pitchers going in the frig. This is my favorite pitcher. I make it in the microwave and run it about 6 minutes. I use 6 decaf teabags Yes, it does stain after a while but it is easily cleaned with some Clorax Cleaner. You should have luck with finding a replacement from Mr. Coffee as that is a popular brand. JLM

I've not had any permanent stains. They come off with hot water / soap or in the dishwasher.

I have not had any staining problems. I always rinse the sink out after use. Occasionally I use the Blanco cleaner and the sink looks brand new. The cleaner is a bit pricey but I think it's worth it personally. Hope this helps!

My husband once put hot tea in a funtainer for me when I was sick. The straw forever stained and there was a hint of tea in the rest of my drinks. Tried to soak it and get it out but nothing I did worked. I wouldn't recommend it.

I've had mine for over 6 years. On a daily basis, I just rinse it in the sink, collar and all. Over time (months?) the glass will develop a coffee stain on the inside with my daily method, so every once in a blue moon I get motivated with a bottle brush and soap to clean the stain away. Over six years of this, and the collar is just fine.

It seemed OK with stains, but acidic drinks like lemonade actually began to etch the plastic. For example, I used lemonade then added berries. No stains, just an etching at the line where it was filled to.

It does not stain so you would have to do that after, I bought a strander at Walmart that fit od my bottles and at I empty the juice it gets strained. It is a great juicer!
