The first step is to carefully remove any remaining liquid or residue from the surface of the item. Use a soft cloth and cold water to dab at the stain, taking care not to rub or spread it around. Once you have removed as much as possible, let the item dry completely.
In a separate container, mix a few drops of gentle liquid soap with some cold water and stir until it forms a sudsy solution. Dip a soft, non-abrasive sponge into the mixture and use it to gently scrub away any remaining stain. Again, take care not to rub the stain in or spread it around.
Once the stain has been removed, rinse the item thoroughly with cold water and let it air dry.
This method is best for stubborn, set-in stains and is especially useful for delicate leather and suede items. In a small bowl, mix equal parts baking soda and cold water until it forms a thick paste. Apply the paste directly onto the stain and let it sit for several minutes before wiping away with a damp, soft cloth.
As with the soap and water technique, be sure to rinse the area with cold water once the stain is gone and then let it air dry.
For those who would prefer to use a store-bought product, there are several items designed specifically for cleaning Prada leather and fabrics. Many of these are available online or at specialty stores. Be sure to read the product directions carefully before applying it to your Prada item.
When in doubt, contact the manufacturer or take the item to a professional cleaner. They should be able to advise you on the most suitable way to clean your item without causing damage.
Coffee and tea stains can be tricky to remove from Prada items, but with the right methods and materials, you can be sure that your items will look good as new. Now you know how to easily remove these pesky stains so that you can enjoy your Prada for years to come.
