Every coffee lover, who starts their morning with a Nespresso coffee pod and ends it with another, knows how difficult it is to remove a coffee stain. Yes, this coffee blog is about removing the stain this decadent beverage leaves on our clothes.
The coffee may taste excellent, but it will not go down well with your overall fashion. So, here are some easy ways to get rid of that coffee stain.
To remove coffee stains on fabric
The cloth that uses synthetic fabric is durable but unfortunately not resilient. That means if you do not wash it in time, it can lose its shape, colour, or structure. So, when you spill your coffee on a piece of synthetic fabric, immediately do this:
Blot the stain from it using the same method you would use on cotton
Then wash it as soon as you can or
Soak it in water for 15 minutes and use warm water to rinse it afterwards
You can also use a sponge damped with rubbing alcohol to clean the coffee stain that remains after soaking it.
Tips for removing Nespresso coffee stain which is dry
A dry stain is challenging to get off. But with these few tips, you might have better luck:
On the stain, directly pour some non-bleaching regular laundry detergent (liquid) or fabric stain remover. Normal liquid soap will work as well if you do not have any specific remover.
Make sure you dab the stain fully with the remover. It is best to let the stain remover sit on for overnight after rubbing it gently.
In the morning, wash the wet cloth using cold water.
