The first step in cleaning coffee or tea stains from your socks is to rinse stained area with cold water. This will help to loosen and remove any debris in the stain. Use a soft bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the area to help remove the stain.
Now that the stained area is rinsed off, it's time to create a solution to help get rid of the stain. Mix 1/2 cup of white vinegar, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of liquid detergent in a bowl or bucket. Make sure you mix the ingredients together thoroughly, so they are combined.
Once solution is created, soak sock in it for at least 30 minutes. This will help to break down the stain and make it easier to remove. After 30 minutes, take the sock out of the solution and rinse it off with cold water.
Finally, it's time to wash the sock in the washing machine. Use your regular laundry detergent and a cold water cycle. To ensure the stain is completely removed, leave the sock in the washing machine for an extra rinse cycle before taking it out.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
