Ways to get rid of stains:

Method number 1 for natural fabrics

Linen and cotton fabrics absorb liquids best. Try to stash things as soon as possible. Lather the area of \u200b\u200bcontamination, slightly stretch. To consolidate the result, a thing should be boiled, but only if it is monophonic - colored fabric can shed.

Method number 2 for old spots

It’s difficult to wash dried coffee stains the first time. Soak the soiled item in salt water for a couple of hours before washing. Then wash clothes in hot or warm water (depending on the type of fabric, see label) with washing powder. Rinse better with plenty, at least two times in a large amount of water.

Method number 3 for silk or wool

Coffee stains on wool or silk clothes are first cleaned with a cloth dampened in a soap-ammonia solution. For its preparation you will need: soap or soap shavings, ammonia (for 1 liter of water - 3-5 teaspoons). After cleaning with a solution, wash the item in the usual way.

An old folk remedy will remove the coffee stain on silk fabric - a mixture of 20 parts of alcohol, 20 parts of water and 1 part of ammonia. Rub the stain and then dry the wet place with a clean cloth and rinse with water.

"Grandma's" method: rub the stain with dry soap, and then clean it with a brush, dampening it in a two percent solution of ammonia.

On a woolen cloth, rub the stain with a swab soaked in pure gasoline, and then wash this place with a mixture of ammonia and water taken equally.

Method number 4

Coffee stains are also removed with the help of slurry from table salt and glycerin. Apply the mixture to the stain and when the stains from the coffee completely dissolve, wash the item following the instructions on the label.

Method number 5 for hard-to-remove, resistant coffee stains

This method requires effort, but you can sweat for your favorite thing. First, the stain is cleaned with a brush moistened with warm water, then the whole thing is washed in a warm soapy solution with the addition of ½ teaspoon of soda ash per 1 liter of water, then rinsed 2 times in warm and 1 time in cold water, slightly acidified with vinegar.

Method number 6 with glycerin

Lubricate the stain with glycerin (warmed up - for greater effectiveness) leave for 15-20 minutes, and then rinse in warm water.

Old spots are removed with another solution: 1 teaspoon of glycerin is mixed with 1 teaspoon of water and a few drops of ammonia. Wipe the stain with a tool until it, oh miracle!, Disappears. Then wash the item in warm, soapy water.

Method number 7 for light fabrics

Dilute half a teaspoon of oxalic acid in a glass of water - it is effective against coffee stains on a light cloth. Treat the stain, rinse thoroughly with warm water. In some sources, a spoon of citric acid is added to oxalic acid to prepare a cleaning solution.

Dilute 2 teaspoons of hyposulfite into 1 cup of water.

Treat the stain with one of the solutions, clean, then wash in soapy water with the addition of ammonia (2 teaspoons per 1 liter of soapy solution).

Method number 8 for a sofa or carpet

If it is impossible to wash a thing, such as a sofa or carpet, discolor the stain with hydrogen peroxide. Make sure to check the effect of peroxide on a small area of \u200b\u200bfabric to begin with. Alternatively, ammonia can be added for a better effect.

Method number 9 for linen products

The use of coffee, in addition to its positive aspects, has some consequences that hardly anyone would want to face. Namely, coffee stains, which are considered one of the most difficult to remove. To make the drink as pleasant as possible and not to spoil your mood due to inadvertently planted stains, you should know how to deal with coffee stains.
  It should be borne in mind that coffee stains should be tried to be removed fresh. Before you find the opportunity to remove the stain from coffee, it should not dry. Otherwise, dealing with it will be much more difficult. Over time, coffee stains turn into stubborn yellowish brown stains.
If such a nuisance happened to you and you put a coffee stain on your clothes, then you should not panic and puzzle over how to remove the coffee stain. First of all, think about whether you have hydrogen peroxide in your medicine cabinet. This is not only a multifunctional remedy during illness, hydrogen peroxide also helps to discolor a coffee stain. Pour a little solution on the fabric and leave it until it is completely dissolved. Types of tissues are different, therefore, in order to avoid damage to matter, in advance try peroxide on a small piece of fabric. Keep in mind that the most troubles are the clothes of white color, on which even the smallest spots are noticeable. If removing stains from coffee on a white cloth is difficult, then try diluting the hydrogen peroxide with ammonia.
By the way, ammonia can help you in the fight against coffee stains on colored clothes. To do this, mix equal parts of ammonia, water and glycerin. Apply the resulting mixture on a coffee stain. After this, clothes should be left for a day, and then washed in soapy water. By the way, this recipe is also suitable for removing old coffee stains.
  Ammonia is an excellent remedy for removing coffee stains from silk and wool. It is better to clean such matter with a cloth dampened with ammonia. Then the thing can be washed without fear for the remaining traces of past misfortune.
  If you decide to use some other method to remove the coffee stain, then later, to avoid the risk of spoiling the thing, still wash clothes in water where ammonia is added.
Removing a stain of coffee with milk is quite difficult, because you have to clean the tissue not only from coffee, but also from the fat that is contained in milk. For such situations, experts advise to use, do not worry, gasoline - this is the substance that usually helps in the most advanced cases. To remove stains of coffee with milk, soak a cotton swab with gasoline and blot the stained area. Using gasoline will help degrease the stain on clothing. And then you need to work according to an already familiar scheme, when the stain is discolored with hydrogen peroxide. Also, get rid of yellowness on the fabric in the place where the coffee was spilled, the hydroperite sold in the pharmacy will help you, it is close in composition to hydrogen peroxide.
A stain on a woolen cloth should be removed as follows. Under the fabric, in the place where the stain is, you can put a napkin. Soap should be planed laundry soap. The resulting chips should rub the stain. Then pour a few drops of ammonia and rub the coffee stain with a soft bristle brush. The napkin should be monitored, it may have to be changed several times in the process. After the procedure, in a dirty place, the fabric should be washed and removed with a cloth. But this stage will not be the last. If the clothes still have a pale yellow coffee mark, then you will have to resort to the already mentioned hydrogen peroxide. However, it should be borne in mind that wool is a delicate material that requires increased attention to itself. So wet the stain with peroxide, then dry and wash your clothes.
  In the event that you are afraid for clothes that have been stained with coffee, you can contact a dry cleaning service where they will help you get rid of most types of pollution.

Among all types of stains, coffee is one of the most insidious. Traces of an invigorating drink are bright, saturated and immediately striking, especially on light clothing.

Fresh coffee can be cleaned much better, but most of these contaminants appear in the morning, before work, when there is absolutely no time to wipe them. And old traces are much more difficult to display.

Dry cleaning is a simple but expensive way to restore your clothes to their former gloss. In addition, it is likely that the fabric will deteriorate. There is a solution: we are trying to deal with the stain with our own hands using one of the suitable means.

It is best to take action immediately. The process of removing different types of stains may vary slightly.

1. To remove black coffee from the fabric, first of all, you need to substitute the stained place under a stream of hot water. This will help to quickly get rid of tannins. Then the track is washed with soap.
2. A stain of coffee with milk will help to remove glycerin or ammonia.
3. Fresh traces of the instant drink will go away after cleaning with ordinary household soap.

To wash each item, depending on the type of fabric, a careful approach is required.

How to wash instant coffee

Stubborn stains from an invigorating drink are much more difficult to remove. But if you follow simple tips, you can achieve an excellent result. To return clean clothes will help a few proven tools.

Bleach

From the whole variety, it is better to choose an oxygen stain remover, because those containing chlorine or optical are suitable only for white fabric. Before buying, you need to read the instructions and consult with the seller in the store.

Boiling water - first aid in the fight against a fresh spot

You will need to stretch the clothes over a basin or large pan, and then pour boiling water directly on the stain for several seconds. Pollution will disappear immediately, but this method is not recommended for delicate material.

Soda or salt

Almost always available in kitchen cabinets and have good coffee output.

It should be diluted in 1 liter of warm water 60 g (2 tbsp. L.) Salt and the same amount of soda. Soak the fabric in the solution for 2 hours, and then wash it in any convenient way.

Glycerol

One of the winning options is to treat the stain with hot glycerin. The substance is heated in a water bath, the place of contamination is lubricated with a hot liquid. Then you should wait 20-30 minutes and wash the product in the machine. A solution of borax in glycerin is also suitable, but after its use a more thorough washing is required.

Ammonia

Perfectly cope with coffee traces. However, it is not suitable for any thing, but only for clothes made of thick fabric. Using it is simple - just moisten the stain with liquid and leave it for 5-10 minutes, and then wash the product.

Lemon juice

Lemon juice is also a good remedy. They will need to soak a coffee blot for 20-30 minutes, and then wash it by hand.

Vinegar and salt

A solution of vinegar perfectly removes even old spots. The problem area is treated with a mixture of essence and water in a ratio of 1: 3 and left for 2-3 hours. Then the clothes are washed with powder.

Fresh traces of coffee are well absorbed by a thick layer of table salt.

We erase clothes

Each type of fabric has its own way.

White clothes

As a rule, the return of purity to white things is a particularly laborious process. But even such a nuisance as coffee stains can be completely removed by following a few steps:

• spread the fabric on a flat surface, on the wrong side, place a cotton pad or a clean cloth under the stain;
• apply ammonia to the problem area, then blot excess moisture with a napkin;
• wash clothes in a convenient way.

Bright clothes

Bright clothes suffer no less, and during their processing the main thing is to prevent fading:

• mix alcohol and turpentine in a small container in a ratio of 50/50;
• moisten a piece of fleece in the solution and gently (without rubbing) apply the composition to the stain;
• we wait an hour, then put it in the washing machine and wash it in a suitable mode.

Denim

It is necessary to remove the stain from jeans before washing, as it is much more difficult to remove coffee from wet trousers. We do this:

• apply a little dishwashing detergent directly to the coffee trail (“Fairy”, “Sorti”);
• give the liquid time to “work”;
• lightly with three fingers, wash the jeans.

Synthetics

With synthetics, the stain can be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide. For this:

• using a pipette, apply the product directly to the stain;
• after one hour, rinse with water.

Cotton

You can remove a coffee trace from a cotton item as follows:

• in a basin we collect about 10 liters of warm water;
• add 5-6 tablespoons of soda ash;
• rub the stain thoroughly with laundry soap, put in a solution;
• after half an hour we wash clothes with our hands.

If the stain is not completely removed, we again use soap. Rinse.

The video shows how a coffee stain is removed using hydrogen peroxide.

We derive a coffee stain from different surfaces

Unfortunately, a spilled drink can be anywhere but clothing. Especially in a family practicing eating not only in the kitchen.

Off the couch

To remove the stain from the sofa, pat the liquid with a towel or dry cloth. Then we take a clean, damp cloth (preferably white) and apply dishwashing detergent to it. Rub the composition into the upholstery of the sofa until a light foam is formed. With a clean damp towel, remove water and chemicals, wait for drying. Done.

Off the carpet

To clean the carpet, remove the coffee with a clean cloth as quickly as possible. Then spray ordinary water onto the stain. We make a solution: dilute 1 tsp. carpet powder or other mild detergent in a liter of water. Mix thoroughly.

We put a little mixture on the corner of the carpet - a place where possible color changes will not be noticeable.

If everything is in order, you can apply the solution to the stain with a clean cloth (it should just be put on the coffee trail and left for 15 minutes). Then we wash the composition off the carpet without using too much liquid. We dab it with a cloth (it is not recommended to rub the area).

From paper and documents

It is not as difficult to deal with fabric as with documents damaged by a drink or printed work. It would seem impossible to restore browned liquid paper. However, there is hope. We will prepare several items:

• iron;
• old toothbrush;
• large capacity;
• bleach, vinegar;
• white clay powder;
• wax paper.

In a cup, mix vinegar and water. We place the sheet in the solution so that the liquid saturates the stain. We take out the document, carefully blot with paper towels.

Alternatively, you can use a mixture of bleach and water in a ratio of 1: 3. The toothbrush is wetted in the solution, which is then treated with the desired area. Such manipulation should be done very carefully so as not to damage the paper and notes.

After the coffee trace has disappeared and the leaf has dried, it is ironed. The main thing is to set a gentle temperature regime.

How to clean an old coffee stain

In order not to resort to dry cleaning services and to remove the old stain at home, we do the following:

• we take out the basin, soak the thing in a solution of soda ash, so that the dirt becomes more malleable;
• put a pan on the fire, add 2 tbsp. l powder stain remover, bring to a boil;
• we take out the tissue from the pelvis, place it in the bubbling liquid;
• boil for half an hour, and then carefully remove using long tongs, rinse.

Coffee stains are not the most difficult dirt found on clothing. If you have patience and time, you can get rid of them without leaving even a hint of a former brownish print.

A disaster happened, did you knock over a cup of your favorite drink? There is no time to think about how to remove a stain from coffee - you need to act as soon as possible! Regardless of what exactly suffered: a white blouse, a woolen sweater or a carpet in general, in our selection you will surely find a way that will help to remove coffee stains in your situation.

Boiling water and hot water

Of course, ideally, you need to soak a thing immediately after the formation of a coffee stain, but this is far from always possible. But substituting under the stream of hot or warm water only the soiled area you will most likely succeed in: keep the stain under the stream until it is washed. If the stain has not completely disappeared, sprinkle it with salt and apply one of the methods listed below at home.

In order to easily remove already dried coffee, pour boiling water over it: slowly pour hot water from the kettle onto the stain, and then wash as usual.

Please note that boiling water can only be used on cotton or linen, as it can ruin wool, silk and synthetics.

Saline or soda ash

If the coffee stain has dried up, but is not yet old, you can soak the product in saline or soda solution for an hour or two, and then wash it with ordinary powder. This method can be applied to clothes of any color and from any fabric, but if the coffee is dry and stuck in fibers, then you will have to switch to heavier artillery.

Usually for a solution of 2 liters of water add 1 tbsp. l salt or soda, but it’s okay if you increase the concentration a little.

Mixtures with glycerin

In fact, even pure glycerin can help remove coffee stains, and in combination with other active ingredients, even the most complex coffee stain can do it.

• Apply lightly warm glycerin to the stain and leave it on clothing for 20-30 minutes. After washing in a typewriter, there will be no trace of a stain!
• Mix glycerin with salt and rub the resulting slurry into a coffee stain. The exposure time of the mixture is also about 30 minutes, after which the clothes are washed in the machine in normal mode.
• Replace glycerin with a borax solution, which also effectively removes coffee.

Traces of glycerol may remain after use, but they will easily be cleaned with ordinary household soap.

Ammonia

Liquid ammonia is widely used in bleaching clothes and can help remove coffee stains. Do not use it in its pure form, since the tool is quite aggressive. Instead, use one of these mixtures to remove coffee.

• Mix 1 tsp. glycerin, 1 tsp ammonia and 1 tbsp. l water. Soak a cotton swab in the solution and blot the dirt.
• In a glass of water, dilute 1 tsp. ammonia and about 20 grams of soap chips. Wet the stain with a solution and leave for 15-20 minutes. Then wash the item in the machine as usual.

Solutions with ammonia, despite the apparent aggressiveness, can be used on finicky silk and wool products without risking spoiling the thing.

Using ammonia, pay special attention to rinsing clothes, otherwise a pungent odor will remain on the dried product.

Whitening

If the white thing has suffered and it was not possible to completely remove the stain from the coffee using the above methods, the stubborn coffee can simply be bleached. Any habitual remedy is suitable for this: “Whiteness”, peroxide or even boiling, if the item is made of cotton or linen.

Many housewives replace White with Domestos, which also has bleach, as they consider it a more effective remedy.

Vinegar

A mixture of equal parts of vinegar, water and laundry detergent applied to the stain can help wash even very heavily soiled items. Apply the solution to contamination, wait 5-10 minutes and rinse the product thoroughly. It is also convenient to handle a dirty sofa or carpet of any color with a solution of vinegar and water (1: 1).

If the product (for example, a sofa or carpet) cannot be placed under running water, try to remove as much coffee from the pile or upholstery as possible with napkins. This will greatly facilitate further manipulations with the stain.

So do not rush to throw out the spoiled thing: even dried coffee can be removed from any product, if you know really proven means!
