If you enjoy a cup of coffee during your busy mornings, but you’re prone to spills, this article that we found on The Spruce is for you.
How to Remove Coffee Stains From Carpet
If you get to a stain early, you have a much better chance of completely removing it from the carpet. The earlier you treat a stain, the easier it will be and the less complicated methods you’ll need to attempt, although it is not impossible to remove all old stains.
Removing Fresh Coffee Stains
When working with a stain, always remember to work from the outside in, which will stop the stain from spreading. From there, you’ll want to use a blotting method and do the following:
- Use a clean white cloth to blot up as much of the coffee as you can
- Pour a small amount of cold water into the coffee stain and use a clean cloth to blot this liquid
- Follow this process until no more coffee transfers to the cloth
- Finish this with a carpet stain remover
Removing Old Coffee Stains From Carpet
The steps to remove an old coffee stain are very similar, but be aware that it may take a lot of repeated effort.
It’s also important to lightly wet the stained area before beginning to treat the stain.
Repeat all the steps for removing fresh coffee stains above.
Due to the fact that this is more difficult to remove than a fresh stain, consider calling us at J & R’s Carpet Cleaning and our experts will help you remove this tricky spot.
What About Coffee and Cream Stains?
Try using a pet carpet stain remover. These are the usually the best at breaking down protein-based stains and will prevent unpleasant odors from in the carpet.
Coffee stains can be difficult to remove without the proper equipment and technique, so if you find yourself blotting at the spot to no avail, call J & R’s for help!
