This is caused by the lime in hard water!.In the north of England-ie-Manchester ,the water is soft,so you don,t get it,but down south in the London area it is bad ,as the water is hardWww@FoodAQ@Com

try not using so much washing up liquid when cleaning your cup and rinse the cup well after washing and do not use a tea-towel to dry the cup,with a CLEAN cup you will not get a scummy film Www@FoodAQ@Com
