Return To Coffee Article Archive   Removing Coffee Stains - How To Remove Coffee From Your Carpet By Tony Narloch Coffee, our friend in our hour of need first thing in the morning to help vitalise and awaken us. The caffeine in the coffee helps us feel more alert and speeds up the heart, however, if you spill a cup of coffee the same effects will ensue, although this is more commonly known as a panic attack! There is a glimmer of hope, even if you spill coffee onto a light coloured carpet, it is still possible to safely and totally remove the stain. First off, you must ensure that you mop up any coffee that has been spilt, either using a soft cloth or some paper towels. This is to save you extra hard work in the long run, to prevent the coffee from saturating the fabric all the way through. Once you have mopped up the worst of the coffee mix up a batch of ½ cup of water and ½ cup of white vinegar and soak a clean cloth in the solution. Place the cloth on top of the coffee stain and gently massage it with a spoon so as to apply some gentle pressure onto the stain, then remove the cloth from the carpet and apply some warm water directly to the stain. The last step to follow when removing coffee stains from carpet is to allow the carpet to dry, using another clean white cloth or paper towel, you will cover the entire area that is wet. As a general rule not only for coffee stains but carpet stains in general, as soon as they appear deal with them straight away. If you delay in properly dealing with a stain, the stain will entrench itself even further into the fabric making such simple remedies all but ineffective and thus you may have to pay for the services of a professional carpet cleaner. Not only is very costly, but totally unnecessary as well, having to employ a professional cleaner just to clean up one small stain in your carpet. If you go to a restaurant and order a burger, they do not kill a cow there and then to get the meat for the burger. keywords: carpet stains | carpet cleaning | carpet stain Expresso Machine
