How to Remove Coffee Stains
The first step is to quickly blot the stain. This will help soak up as much of the liquid as possible before the stain has time to set in. Next, mix together a solution of one teaspoon of dish soap, one tablespoon of white vinegar, and two cups of warm water. If stain is particularly difficult, you can also add one tablespoon of baking soda into the mix. Apply the mixture directly to the stain and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes.
Once the time is up, use a clean cloth or rag to gently work the material. Check to ensure that the stain is dissipating. If not, you may need to reapply the solution and again repeat the process until the stain is gone.
How to Remove Tea Stains
When it comes to removing tea stains, the best method is to start by soaking the fabric in cold water. This should be done for about an hour. Again, blot the stain with a clean cloth or rag to aid in soaking up any liquid prior to starting cleaning process. Next, create a solution using a tablespoon of white vinegar and a teaspoon of dish soap, mixed with a cup of warm water.
Using a clean cloth, gently rub the solution onto the stain, working in a circular motion. Allowing the solution to set in, wait for about 10-15 minutes. Once the time has passed, rinse the fabric with cold water and hang maxi dress to air dry.
