Clear ligatures will always stain. There's really nothing you can do about that other than to choose a more stain resistant color. If you do a search you can find some threads on this topic. I "think" some of the colors that are more stain resistant are "smoke" and "silver", but I'm not sure about the silver.

As an avid coffee drinker, I deal with staining a lot. I tried the Smoke, which are supposed to be more stain-resistant, but I had better luck with the Silver. The Smoke stained in literally days, whereas the Silver lasted for at least the first two weeks before becoming noticeably discolored. I keep Silver on the uppers, and alternate colors on my lowers.
