Can anyone tell me how to get a coffee stain out of light beige carpet????

Answer 1

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear about your carpet! I had the same thing happen on my beige carpet but with a permanent marker! I surfed the net like a mad woman, but nothing worked. I finally tried the colorox bleach pen. It took the stain right out!

I paid about $4.50 for mine, but I was surfing the freebies today and I saw a link to get one for free!

Good Luck!

Im a cleaning expert and professional in clenaing industry for 11 years. My Major customers are hotels and resorts. All seems to have these challenges. From my experience, the stain can only be removed if its fresh, once dry, its permanent.

If its fresh : apply non-bleach stain remover on the spot. Soak it for 4-5 minutes. This will allow the stain to break. Use a clean and dry cloth(towel is the best-100 cotton, white coloris the best to see the results), place on the spot and apply pressure onto the towel to absorb the chemical. Do this till the chemical is out. Obtain a bucket/pale/cup(make sure the container is clean) of warm clean tap water, apply on the spot. Do the same as above till the spot is completely clean- DO NOT SCRUB USING SCURBBING PAD, BRUSH, SHARP OBJECTS as this will damage the carpet.

If the stain is dry, cut and paste is the best solution. Get the carpet professionals to do this as they will have the right tools to do this.

This is a good a time as any to list everything a person might need for any carpet stain emergency: Preparation is the key to keeping your carpets as clean as possible. Having some basic stain removers on hand will enable you to treat stains as they occur so that they do not set into your carpeting. Some of these items will be normal, everyday items that you keep on your kitchen shelves and some of the items you may have to purchase, but if you prepare, then you will be ready for any kind of stain! * Club Soda * Dishwashing Liquid * Hydrogen Peroxide * Salt * Baking Soda * White Vinegar * Toothpaste (non-gel) * Ammonia * Rubbing Alcohol * Dry cleaning solvent (found at grocery store or carpet cleaning supplier) OK...that being said>>>Blot or extract as much of the liquid as possible with a dry, clean towel. Use a steam cleaner with plain cold water or a washrag and attempt to remove as much of the coffee as possible from the carpet fibers. If the stain remains, mix a spray bottle with 50/50 water and plain white vinegar and blot carefully in the carpet fibers. Let it sit for approximately 15 minutes. Coffee is an acid which settles in the actual carpet fibers, and the vinegar is a stronger acid which will displace the coffee stain. Blot carefully to remove moisture. If it looks ok, steam clean to extract the vinegar with plain cold water, or use a clean rag with cold water. If a stain remains after the carpet has dried, go to your medicine cabinet and grab the bottle of hydrogen peroxide. Pour it directly on the stain and massage in and around the stained fibers. Let it dry, and repeat if needed. You do not need to steam clean as the hydrogen peroxide will turn to water when exposed to sunlight. You may need to apply the hydrogen peroxide a few times to completely remove the stain. A couple points to remember. * Always use COLD water as heat will set the stain. * Be gentle. Blot do not rub as you risk fraying the carpet fibers. * Never use soap on the carpet as a residue will remain which will attract dirt in the future.

YES! Well, at least I think so....I read a remedy that worked for me fantastically --- use warm soapy water and soak the stain (soak it really well) sop it, not rub it-- then take one or two wet towels and soak up the soapy water;then a couple of dry towels to help soak up the water.Again - just apply pressure on the area --DO NOT SCRUB THE STAIN - IT WILL SPREAD! Just soak up the soapy water you put over the stain. I did this twice and both times it worked perfectly! Good luck to you!

Answer 6

Blot with a white paper towel to remove as much of the stain as possible then neutralize with the white vinegar solution (1/3 cup WHITE vinegar to 2/3 cup of water). Saturate spot with white vinegar solution, using a spray bottle and blot to remove excess moisture.

Apply a small quantity of detergent solution to the spot. (To make the detergent solution mix 1/4 teaspoon of a hand dish washing detergent which does not contain lanolin or bleach with 1 quart of water; examples of safe detergents are Dawn® and Joy®.) Use a blotting motion to work the detergent into the affected area. If spot is being removed continue applying detergent and blotting with a white paper towel until spot is removed.

Rinse with tap water using a spray bottle, blot to remove excess moisture.

Spray lightly with water, do not blot this time; apply pad of paper towels and brick and allow to dry. (You put the brick or something heavy on the pad of absorbant paper or even an absorbant cloth

Answer 7

Try club soda to get it out and then soak up the stain. Even if it dries there, don't worry. Get the book, "The Queen of Clean". She talks about how to get stains virtually out of anything. It's unbelievable.

Answer 8

Apply Glycerine with a cotton ball. Leave for 5 minutes then damp sponge the stain with white vinegar.Sprinkle with bicarb then vaccum when dry

Answer 9

Do you know the hand cleaner that auto mechanics use.to get grease off of their hands? It comes in a round can and is thick and creamy....You would be surprised at how great it works on taking stains out of clothes and it would probably work on rugs too! I haven't personally tried it, but it couldn't hurt....Good luck!
