Most people drink coffee to keep them awake during the day. Since coffee is a dark beverage, if you accidentally spill it on your shirt, the stain will be noticeable, especially if it was a light-colored shirt. Luckily, removing coffee stains is not that difficult. Read our article and find out how to do it.
Steps
Step 1. Soak a few paper towels or a cotton rag in cold water
Blot the stain with them to absorb as much coffee as possible. You only need to blot the stain. Don't rub it on your clothes.
Step 2. Soak the other side of the shirt in cold water
Squeeze it out, removing excess water.
Step 3. Take the stain remover you use to remove stains before washing and apply it directly to the stain
Try to rub it in gently. Wait a couple of minutes for the product to absorb into the stain.
If you don't have a stain remover for clothes on hand, you can use a liquid detergent. Rub it gently into the stain with your fingers and leave it on for 15 minutes
Step 4. Rinse your shirt thoroughly in cold water
Now you can machine wash it.
Step 5. Air dry your shirt
