Removing Coffee Stains

If you've got a coffee stain on traditional clothing, the first step is to ensure that it's fully blotted and absorbed. For this, use several paper towels and dab the area gently. Blot the area both from the outside and inside of garment. After dabbing the stain, you should then immediately rinse the garment with cold water. This will help to prevent stain from setting in.

After rinsing the garment, apply a laundry stain remover directly to the area and allow it to sit for a few minutes. For particularly tough coffee stains, you may need to use a specialized stain removal formula specifically designed for coffee stains. Once you’ve allowed the solution to sit, launder the garment as usual.

Removing Tea Stains

The process for removing tea stains from traditional clothing is very similar to how one would remove coffee stains. You should begin by soaking the area with cold water, then applying a dedicated stain remover to the area. Allow the solution to sit for a few minutes and then launder the garment.

For stubborn tea stains, you may need to use a solution of warm water and white vinegar. To use this method, pour the solution over the area until it's saturated. Let the solution soak into the fabric for a few minutes. Then, rinse the area with cold water and launder garment as usual.

Conclusion

Coffee and tea stains can be a difficult problem to solve when they land on your traditional clothing. However, with the right approach and stain-removing products, you’ll be able to make those garments look good as new again. Follow the steps above to both remove and prevent coffee and tea stains from traditional clothing.
