Tips on Removing Coffee Stains
- If fresh, dilute with water and soak up with a colour fast towel. Repeat as long as effective.
- Treating when fresh will avoid the tannin from setting making the stain much harder to remove.
- If stain has dried, apply ammonia solution (1 part cloudy ammonia : 15 parts water) to the affected area.
- Soak up and treat with a white vinegar solution (1 part white vinegar : 1 part water) and soak up.
- Repeat both steps as long as there is improvement.
- Rinse with clean water and blot dry with a colour fast towel.
