Soak the cotton gingham clothing with the coffee or tea stains in cold water for at least 15 minutes or longer if needed. If the garment is too large to fit in a bucket, hang it in bathtub and use the shower head to pour cold water over it.
Make a solution of oxygen bleach and cold water according to the instructions on the package. Pour enough of the solution over the stained area to completely saturate it, and let it soak for at least 15 minutes.
Wash the item of clothing on cold setting in the washing machine with the laundry detergent according to the care label's instructions. Do not use fabric softener or any other product besides laundry detergent.
Hang garment on the clothesline to air dry. Ironing may set the stain and should be avoided.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
