Return To Coffee Article Archive   Removing Coffee Stains In Carpets The Right Way By Christopher W Smith You've just sat down to drink your morning brew, when 'oops', you've spilled it all over your brand new carpet! Think that ugly brown stain is there for good? Think again, because in this article, we present two popular methods for removing coffee stains in carpets. As with any carpet treatment, make sure to test on an inconspicuous area first to make sure you aren't damaging your flooring. Method 1: this manual method for removing coffee stains in carpets is a bit labor intensive, but it will be worth it when you're done! First, blot up any of the excess coffee. Next, use a commercial stain removing solution. Let the solution sit for a minute or two, or more if directions indicate. Next, you will want to prepare a solution composed of a half a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid, a tablespoon of vinegar, and a quart of water. Pour this solution over the stain to completely flush it. Blot the liquid up with a washcloth. Repeat if necessary. Don't forget to let the carpet dry completely after treating. Note that scrubbing the stain really isn't necessary and can damage delicate carpet fibers if done too vigorously. Method 2: an easier way for dealing with removing coffee stains in carpets is to let a machine do the hard work for you! You can rent carpet cleaning machines at your local supermarket or vacuum store. Or, if you're dealing with frequent stains (or have children or pets) you may want to think about investing in the purchase of a machine. Follow the directions to clean the stain - don't forget that you may need to clean it several times with the machine to erase it completely. Another product you will want to check out is a steam cleaner. Steam cleaning is environmentally friendly, since it uses only pure water and high heat to remove stains. As an added bonus, anything you treat with a steam cleaner is automatically sterilized due to the heat. Whether you choose to manually erase that unsightly stain, or rent or purchase a carpet cleaning machine or steam cleaner, you can be sure that it will not mar your beautiful carpet for long. Just remember that it can take two or three repeated treatments for the stain to completely disappear.
