Additional Tips For Removing Coffee and Tea Stains from Scrubs:
- Vinegar is also an effective stain remover. Mix equal parts vinegar and water and dab the solution on the stain. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes and rinse it off.
- You can also use baking soda as a natural stain remover. Mix two tablespoons of baking soda with one cup of water and apply it to the stain. Let it rest for an hour before rinsing it off.
- If those methods don't work, try using a spot cleaner or a product meant specifically for removing coffee and tea stains.
