How To Remove A Coffee Stain

Coffee stains can be difficult to remove because a typical coffee spill creates what is known as a combination stain. Plain coffee has tannins that cause stains similar to a tea or wine spill, which can be difficult to clean by itself. However, if you add cream or milk to your coffee, you have a protein stain to deal with as well.

Regardless of the stain you need to take quick action. The faster you can treat the spillage, the better your chances are at removing the stain completely.

How To Remove Coffee Stains From Your Carpet
Before applying any type of cleaning solution or stain remover, attempt to remove as much liquid from your carpet as possible by blotting the area inside to outside with a clean cloth . Never rub at the stained area, as you may spread the stain into the fibers and even into the carpet pad.

Once the area is as liquid-free as possible, there are some different techniques you can try to remove the stain. Read the following steps to determine which one will work best for you:

Water and Dishwashing Liquid
Mix a cleaning solution of two cups water and two teaspoons dishwashing liquid. Then add the solution to a spray bottle then spray the effected area and lightly blot the stain with a clean cloth or sponge. Then spray lightly with plain water and continue blotting. Repeat this process until the stain has been fully removed.

Water and Baking Soda
Another option is to create a paste of one part water and one part baking soda. Apply the paste directly to the stain and work it in gently with your fingers. Then, spray the area lightly with water and blot to remove any excess baking soda.

Water and White Vinegar
One part water mixed with one part white vinegar can also successfully remove coffee stains. Once mixed, pour the solution into a spray bottle and spray directly onto the stained area. Then blot to lighten and remove the stain. Once the area has dried completely, you may want to sprinkle a layer of baking soda over the spot to soak up any lingering vinegar odor. Let the baking soda sit for about 20 minutes before vacuuming. You should be left with a perfectly clean carpet.
