Now, wash it with clear water and laundry detergent. Let it dry to wear again.

For Jeans. Put some baking soda on a clean wet cloth and rub it on the stained area. Let it soak for a few minutes and rinse with water as usual. Let it dry for you to wear again.

Lastly, sponge the area using cold water with a microfiber cloth and dab it with a fresh cloth until it dries up.

Quickly sprinkle some baking soda on the cup and drop some white vinegar. You will notice some bubbles- now let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Wash the cup with water. Take a paste of baking soda and water, and scrub it on the stained area with a toothbrush. Lastly, wash the cup as usual.

How to Remove Coffee Stains from Car Seats

Firstly dab the excess coffee using a paper towel or tissue. Repeat until all the excess is soaked up. Now, dab the stained area using cold water with another paper towel. Lastly, dry it up using a fresh towel. If the stain remains, use baking soda or dishwasher soap on the seat with some cold water. Rub it softly and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Wipe it with a fresh towel and dry it up. Your car seat will look like a new one now!

Shaving cream. Apply an ample amount of shaving cream on the coffee stain and rub it gently with your hands. Repeat the process until the stain has completely vanished. Wash with cold water and let it dry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are coffee stains permanent?

You will be glad to know that coffee stains are not permanent. You can remove the dark color of coffee from anything you want- you just need to follow the right method to do that!

Can I remove coffee stains from white clothes?

Yes. You can remove coffee stains from white clothes by following the same methods mentioned above. An additional tip will be to soak the white cloth in a mixture of one gallon of water and one-fourth cup of chlorine bleach. Let it sit for at least five minutes, and rinse with normal water.

When should I take my coffee-stained cloth to a professional?

If none of the home remedies work out for you, or if the fabric care label states “only dry clean”, you must take the cloth to a professional cleaner to get the coffee stain removed. You should not try doing it at home because that can ruin the material further.

Can dried coffee stains be removed?

Yes. You can remove dried coffee stains using white vinegar and liquid laundry detergent. Just wet the area with warm water, apply the mixture of vinegar and detergent, and scrub it using a soft toothbrush. Now, let it sit for 10 minutes and rinse it with clean water.
