To start, carefully assess the stain and determine which type of cleaner you will need. For light coffee or tea stains, a simple solution of laundry detergent and cold water mixed together should do the trick. Apply mixture directly onto stained area and gently rub in a circular motion. Let it sit for about 10 minutes before rinsing with cold water. Avoid using hot water as it could set the stain and make it more difficult to remove.

If the stain is darker and more set in, you can try a mixture of water and white vinegar. Apply the solution to the stain and let it sit for about 10 minutes, then rinse well and dab dry with a cotton towel.

For tougher coffee and tea stains, you may need to purchase a specialized cleaning product. You can find these at any grocery store, and they are designed to remove stains without damaging fabric. Follow the instructions on the package and use the recommended amount of product on the stained area. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, and then rinse and repeat if necessary. Make sure to follow the instructions closely.

When removing a coffee or tea stain from your cocktail dress, it is important to act quickly and be careful not to spread the stain. Always test any cleaning solutions on a small patch of fabric first before applying it onto stain. If you are still unsure about how to properly clean the stain, take your dress to a professional cleaner.
