Removing Coffee Stains from Capris
Coffee stains can be difficult to remove, but there are a few quick and easy steps you can take to get those stains out of your capris. The most important thing is to act quickly—the longer the stain sits, the harder it will be to get out. Here’s what to do:
- Blot any remaining liquid with a paper towel. Do not rub—this can make the stain worse. Simply press paper towel into the stain and absorb as much of liquid as possible.
- Mix together a solution of 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, 1 teaspoon of liquid dish detergent, and a cup of warm water.
- Dip a clean rag in the solution and dab at the stain.
- Continue to dab the stain until it fades away. If necessary, repeat this process until the stain is completely gone.
- Rinse the area with cold water and let it air dry completely.
Removing Tea Stains from Capris
Tea stains can be just as stubborn as coffee stains, but they are slightly easier to remove. Here’s what to do:
- Gently rub the stained area with a damp cloth. This will help loosen the stain and make it easier to clean.
- Make a paste using baking soda and water. Apply it directly to the stain and leave it on for 10 minutes.
- Using a brush, scrub the paste gently to work it into the fabric. Be careful not to be too rough as you could damage the fabric.
- Rinse the area with cold water.
- If the stain persists, mix two tablespoons of white vinegar with two tablespoons of water and dip a clean cloth in the mixture. Dab at the stain until it disappears.
