Great top by the way.
My mother always said to support the area of fruit stain over a bowl or something in the laundry tub, then pour the boiling water FROM A HEIGHT. Is this an old wives' tale (the "from a height" part), or does it make a difference? I don't mean stand on a stool, just lift it up, extending your arm slightly upwards, and pour. I've always been nervous to omit this step, in case the stain didn't come out.
