Coffee Stains

Coffee Stains do come out. Coffee Stains are often on clothes, sheets, and tablecloths. The key to removing coffee stains is to act immediately after the spill happens.

Coffee Stains will eventually be set into fabrics that can be hard or impossible to remove by hand. Washing in Hot Water (60 C) with bleach will help.

If the coffee stain is fresh, you can act fast to get it out! The first step is to think about where the spill may have gone. If it has only gone onto one part of the fabric, then that would be your best bet.

Next, use a knife or spoon and scrape it (gently) off of the fabric while getting any water you can. The objective is to get the coffee stain out of your fabric while it is still wet!

Dried Coffee Stain

Once the coffee stain has dried, act fast again to get it out. Mix together dish soap and Hydrogen Peroxide (3%). Once mixed, rub this onto the stain for a few minutes. After you have done this, it is time to wash the clothes in Hot Water (60 C) with bleach.

The key to removing coffee stains from fabric is acting quickly! Once a Coffee Stain has dried onto fabric, it can be harder to remove, but not impossible!

Think of the location and how bad the stain is before trying any of the above solutions.

Are Coffee Stains Difficult to Remove?

No. Coffee Stains are not difficult to remove, as long as you act fast! Use a spoon or knife and scrape it off the fabric while getting any water you can on the coffee stain.

You should start acting at this point. Once the stain has dried on the fabric, it is harder to get out of the fabric, so act fast!

Different Methods of Getting Dried Coffee Stains Out:

Flush with Cold Water

Do not rub and flush it with cold water as soon as possible.

1) If that does not work, mix 2 tsp dishwashing liquid with 1 tsp white vinegar.

2) Saturate coffee stains with the mixture and soak for 30 minutes before laundering in warm water. The stain should be gone by now! If not:

3) Repeat step 2 and soak an additional 15-30 minutes and launder.

Applying Liquid Laundry Detergent

1) Apply laundry detergent directly to the stained fabric.

2) Work gently with fingers or brush, then rinse out thoroughly.

3) Allow your garment to air dry completely before wearing it again. If you can still see some discoloration at this point, repeat until gone!

Trying Powdered Laundry Detergent

1) If liquid laundry detergent doesn’t work, try using powdered detergent to remove coffee stains.

2) Apply the powdered laundry detergent to the dried coffee stains and scrub in with a soft brush or your fingers. Once you have brushed it into the fabric, rinse thoroughly, then wash as usual.

3) This will most likely require several applications to get rid of stubborn dried coffee stains.

The best method for removing a coffee stain from fabric is by immediately flushing with cold water as soon as the spill happens—mix dish soap and hydrogen peroxide to form a paste if the stain dries.

Rub the paste into the stained area and rinse out after several minutes. Wash as normal afterward. You can also use liquid dish soap and a little bit of water to form a liquid solution. Wash as normal afterward.
