How to Remove Coffee Stains

There are many of us who swear we couldn’t get going in the beginning of the day without our daily, morning cup of coffee. Seeing as how so many of us are in the ritual of drinking coffee every day, as we hurriedly get ready in the morning, I’m sure most of us have had an accident involving a coffee stain on our clothes. Most of the time you probably don’t even notice it until you’re actually at work, or the coffee spills on you at work. Regardless of where it happens, getting out your coffee stain is a real possibility and there are a few different ways you can achieve that.

As soon as you notice a coffee stain on your clothes you want to rinse it or dab it with cold water. The dryer the coffee stain gets, the more it’s setting in, which makes your chances of being able to remove it much less likely.

If you’re at home and you have a stain remover handy, rinse the stain and apply your stain remover and let it set before washing it. If you take your garment out of the washer and the coffee stain is not removed, do not put it in the dryer, you will set the stain if you dry it before getting the stain completely out.

If you don’t have a stain remover, baking soda, vinegar and club soda can help take out the stain as well. The biggest trick to not letting a coffee stain set and to being able to removing it is not letting the coffee stain dry. Try to rinse it immediately. If it does dry, you can try to pour boiling water over the stain depending on the fabric type before applying a pre-wash stain remover. Stain removers which can be found at just about any store that carries laundry supplies are usually your best bet in removing coffee stains.

Stains are easier to get out of certain fabrics more so than others and some fabric is more delicate making it harder to treat.
Just try to take it easy and enjoy your cup of coffee to try to reduce spillage and eliminate the need for coffee stain removal.
