One such tip is to use black tea.

“Be cautious with delicate surfaces, as black tea can stain—avoid using it on your finest chinaware.”
Or try the age-old hack of combining water and white vinegar.

“Make sure that you use white vinegar, because it’s less likely to leave any visible marks on the surfaces you’re cleaning than the brown malt alternative.”
