For old stains apply glycerine with a cotton ball, then rub in dry-cleaning fluid with a cotton ball, and leave for 10-15 minutes. Sponge off with a damp cloth

Answer 3

Tea stains are tanin-based stains and are difficult to remove.
When removing mattress stains, always remember, no matter what stain you are trying to remove, do your best to avoid further dampening the mattress and the substrate (inner mattress padding). If the mattress padding is further dampened by cleaning liquids or water, it will be much more difficult for the mattress to completely dry. A mattress, if not totally dry when covered with bed linens, has the potential of allowing remaining moisture to cause mold and mildew to grow within the mattress. Should this happen, you will not only further damage your mattress but you will also start to notice a strong odor and you could get sick from the mold and mildew.
As there are so many different stain sources, there is no “one quick fix” to remove a mattress stain. Obviously, knowing what you’re dealing with (what caused the stain), how recent the stain occurred and the properties of the mattress fabric; the easier it will be to remove. NEVER PANIC, NEVER run to your cabinet and NEVER grab any ole’ chemical cleaner to quickly remove the stain! And NEVER use any bleach style stain removers on fabric that is colored.
And... ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, test cleaning solutions on small inconspicuous areas, FIRST!

Using the “Dry Suds” Method to Remove Mattress Stains
During your attempts to remove a stain from a mattress, it’s recommended to try out the mildest and/or gentlest solution first. Most mattress manufacturers' recommend the “dry suds” mattress cleaning method. This method works very well on new or “fresh” stains, but is also practical for dry, unknown stains, or stains that have had time to “set in”.
It’s inexpensive and requires some minimum effort, yet certainly worth trying before using expensive cleaning products.
You will need a sponge (or a clean white towel), some mild dry powdered laundry detergent, lukewarm water, and a whisk, electric mixer, or an egg beater.
1). Mix the "dry suds" using 1/4 cup mild, dry (powder) laundry detergent in a bowl and slowly add 1 cup of lukewarm water (don’t add more than 1 cup) while mixing the water and detergent with the whisk, electric mixer (set to medium speed), or the egg beater, until the suds develop. The suds should be thick and frothy, much like whipped cream.
2). Using a sponge (or a clean white towel), soaked in lukewarm water and wrung out as “dry” as possible, scoop ONLY the layer of suds off of the top of the bowl and rub them into the mattress stain using a clockwise motion and working from the outer edges of the stain to the center. Work the dry suds into the stained area until it begins to fade.
3). Rinse out sponge thoroughly to remove any residue and squeeze out all the water possible.
4). Repeat working the suds ONLY, into the stain again, but this time do so in a counter-clockwise motion and again (always) working from the outer edges of the stain to the center. Remember the need to keep the mattress as dry as possible while removing the stain.
5). Rinse out the sponge thoroughly of any and all residue, squeeze the sponge “dry” and gently wipe away at the stain area from the (always) outer edges of the stain to the center .
6). Blot the stained area dry with a clean white towel and allow the mattress to dry completely before you make up the bed with fresh bed linens. A ceiling fan, or a room fan, will assist in completely drying your mattress. If neither is available, simply keep it uncovered until it completely air dries, DO NOT USE A HAIR DRYER as heat will assist in "setting" the stain should it reappear.

If the tea stain reappears, try any one of the three following methods:
1). Use an egg. Separate the yolk from the egg white. With the yolk in a bowl, add a few drops of denatured alcohol and beat it with a whisk or whatever you have to mix the two thoroughly. Dip a clean, white cloth into the beaten egg yolk and gently rub the yolk into the stained area starting at the outside perimeter and work towards the center. Follow by blotting with a clean, white cloth, dampened with water. Rinse the blotting cloth and repeat blotting procedure until stain is gone.
or 2). If the stain still remains, mix together a 50-50 solution of water and white vinegar. Dip a clean, white cloth into the 50-50 solution and wring out the excess solution. With a circular motion and starting at the outside perimeter working towards the center of the stained area, gently rub the solution into the stained area. Follow by blotting the stained area with a dry, white cloth.
or 3). Mix a solution of 1/2 teaspoon mild detergent in a pint (16 oz) of water. Use only what is needed for the stained area and SPARINGLY, apply the solution with a circular motion starting at the outside perimeter working towards the center and then allow time to “breakdown” the stained area for 5 minutes (30 minutes if stain is old or dry). Blot with a clean, white towel. If the stain remains, apply a 50-50 solution of water and white vinegar and blot the stained area.
For truly stubborn stains, or tannin stains that re-emerge over time, try Oxyclean or a similar oxygen bleach.
