Removing Coffee Stain From Upholstery
Ahhh java – is there anything better? Still, removing coffee stain upholstery is a tricky thing to do. Thankfully, this article can help.
It’s hard to resist bringing that giant mug of steaming coffee everywhere in your home, isn’t it? Unfortunately, this drink tends to stain rugs, chairs, and nearly anything else that comes in its dripping path. Rather than give up that morning cup, all you have to do is learn all about removing coffee stain upholstery (it’s easier than you think!). There are a few different ways to go about this task, so take your pick from the list below.
Most people use a commercial stain remover to clean up their furniture, since this method is relatively painless. To use this solution, rub a stain remover (the type that you use in the laundry) on the area allowing it to seep into the material thoroughly. Then, wash the material right away (if it can be removed). The next method involves a bit of vinegar (that tried and true household wonder liquid). Mix one teaspoon of vinegar (white) into one quart of cold water. Using a sponge, carefully pat the area with the mix, and wipe the entire thing clean when you are done.
Here’s one that you don’t hear about every day – use an egg yolk to clean your furniture. Some say that adding a yolk to a few splashes of rubbing alcohol will remove stains...though this one may not work all that well. Lastly, you can do what your mother did and use that good old fashioned baking soda. Add a bit of baking soda to a wet cloth, and dab at the area with a sponge. Try one of these methods for removing coffee stain upholstery around your home, and your furniture should be as good as new in no time... well, almost.
The longer you allow a stain to penetrate into a material, the harder it will be to remove that stain permanently. So, the next time that you slosh a drink or spill a few crumbs of chocolate, get out that stain remover, egg, vinegar, or baking soda immediately. Also, make sure to spot check your furniture just in case these methods discolor your favorite sofa.
See how easy removing coffee stain upholstery can be? Well, what are you waiting for? Get over there and get rid of that stain!
