Is there a way to get a coffee stain out of carpet?

Answer 1

Resolve foam works great. Spray it on and use a stiff brush. When it dries, vacuum

Answer 2

Unfortunately, it's a tough one due to the acidic factor of coffee, but you can minimize the stain with some elbow grease. The first thing you need to remember, NEVER saturate carpet to clean it, it has a primary and secondary backing and glued together and can break down and "delaminate" (separate). Use a white towel that is wrung out not sopping wet. Blot up as much of the stain as you can. Make a mixture of detergent, clear colored and warm water, not too soapy. Then keep blotting, not rubbing, keep using cleaner parts of the towel as the coffee transfers on to the towel. When done, use dry white towel to do the blotting to dry. If does not work at all, call a professional carpet cleaner, remember, products like Resolve, etc., can actually adhere to a cleaned area, and the chemical residue from the cleaner can also make a stain "wick" back up. Good luck

How old is the stain? If it is recent, a high quality stain remover will do the job. If it is dark and older than a week, I would recommend a professional cleaning service. I used to work for one and we did a great job. Not only will they likely remove the stain, but there is a good chance that they can perform another service you likely need while they are out there. For instance, we cleaned furniture, area rugs, and even cleaned out vents and air ducts. Good do-it-yourself products can be found in your local market or retail store. Some places even rent steam cleaners by the day. I have had good experiences with these, and have even been able to get awful stains including candle wax out of my white carpet with these machines! If you can transport it, it is a real problem solver. Good luck!

Answer 4

I had called an extension center one time and they said to use lighter fluid on stains. 99% of the stains I have come out with that. But you have to test in on an inconspicuous spot first to make sure it won't eat the material. It dissolves gum like it wasn't there. It took out red stain from a pair of good slacks. I've used it on car seats from kids with candy that stained. The only thing they said was that you make sure that you wash it really good afterwards cause that spot will then become highly flammable.
Also Tide w/bleach works really well on the clothes. Why not try it. Couldn't hurt. I even use it in my carpet cleaner. Just make sure you put a 1/2 a cap of fabric softener in the waste bucket part.

Answer 5

Tea and Coffee Stains

Remove as much as possible through blotting

Option A:


Make a solution of one part of white vinegar with one part of water.
Apply to the stain using a spray bottle to saturate.
Allow the stain to sit about ten to fifteen minutes.
Use a sponge to clean in a rubbing motion.
Rinse with warm water.
Brush the pile back into the natural direction is has.
Using layers of white paper towels, place paper towel on top of area, place a book on top of that. Allow to sit like this until it has dried.


Option C:
Detergent solution: A detergent solution can be made of hand soap or dish soap. The combination is one quarter of a teaspoon of detergent to one quart of water. Make sure the soap does not contain bleach or lanolin.

Blot the stain with white paper towels to remove as much of the solution as possible.
Apply detergent solution from a spray bottle.
Rub the area.
Blot out the stain and detergent.

Option E:
Often, good old fashioned water can re-hydrate the stain to help with removal. Large spills can be cleaned up with a wet dry vac or a steam cleaner. Dry as thoroughly as possible.

Answer 9

COFFEE
Washables: Stretch fabric over a bowl and, from a height of about one foot (gravity helps), pour boiling water from a kettle. Follow with an application of an oil solvent if the coffee had milk in it. If it had sugar, treat with glycerin or a combination solvent like Shout and let sit for 30 minutes. Finish with a regular wash cycle.
Nonwashables: Apply a gentle detergent like Woolite and very little water. Rub to form suds, then rinse. Use an eyedropper with diluted vinegar to bleach any remaining color. Rinse with cool water. If the coffee had milk in it, finish by applying an oil solvent.

Answer 10

I also use Spot Shot. Works on most stuff. Never tried it on coffee, though.
