Put 2 to 3 spoons of baking soda in the mug, add a little white vinegar to create a foaming chemical reaction, spread the solution inside and outside, and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before scrubbing and rinsing.
Sprinkle salt thoroughly across the surface of the mug, then cut a lemon in half and rub the salted surface with the lemon peel in a circular motion until the dirt lifts off before rinsing with fresh water.
Submerge the old mug in a large pot or tub of hot water mixed with 3 to 4 spoons of washing powder or detergent, leave it for 35 to 45 minutes to loosen stubborn dirt, and then gently scrub it with a brush.
