How to Get Old Coffee Stains Out of Clothes
Dealing with coffee stains on clothes can be frustrating, but it’s easier than you think. Dried or old coffee stains can be harder to remove than fresh ones because the coffee particles have had time to set into the fabric. By following the steps below, those dried-in stains will be gone in no time!
Yield: 1 stain free garment
Cost: $0.50
Equipment
- 1 Soft-bristled old toothbrush
- 1 Soft, clean cloth or paper towels
Materials
- 2 drops cold water
- 2 drops dish soap
- ½ tablespoon enzyme-based stain remover or oxygen bleach
Instructions
- Mix 1-2 drops of dish soap and cold water directly onto the dried coffee stain. Rub the mixture gently into the fabric.
- Soak the garment in cold water for thirty minutes, rubbing the stain with your thumb every five minutes. Optionally, you can add a small amount of enzyme-based liquid stain remover or oxygen bleach into the cold water for better results.
- Rinse the garment thoroughly with cold water to get rid of loosened coffee particles. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to further remove any residue.
- Wash the garment in the washing machine as you normally would.
- If any hint remains, repeat steps one to four before air drying the garment.
Notes
Do not machine dry the clothing item, as heat will set the stain further.
