How to Get Coffee Stains Out of Couch

Spilling coffee on your couch is a common accident that can leave an unsightly stain. The good news is that there are a few simple steps you can take to remove the stain and restore your couch to its original condition.

Materials you'll need:

Clean cloths or rag
White vinegar
Cold water
Baking soda
Vacuum cleaner

Instructions:

Act quickly.
The sooner you start cleaning the stain, the less likely it is to set and become permanent.
Blot up the excess coffee.
Use a clean cloth or rag to gently blot up as much of the spilled coffee as possible. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain.
Make a vinegar solution.
Mix equal parts white vinegar and cold water in a bowl.
Test the solution.
Before applying the vinegar solution to the entire stain, test it on an inconspicuous area of the couch to make sure it does not damage the fabric.
Apply the vinegar solution.
Dip a clean cloth or rag into the vinegar solution and gently blot it onto the stain. Work from the outside of the stain inwards to avoid spreading it.
Rinse with cold water.
Once you have applied the vinegar solution, rinse the area with cold water to remove any residual vinegar.
Make a baking soda paste.
Mix baking soda with cold water to form a paste. Apply the paste to the stain and let it sit for 30 minutes.
Vacuum up the baking soda paste.
After 30 minutes, vacuum up the baking soda paste.
Repeat steps 5-8 if necessary.
If the stain is still visible, repeat steps 5-8 until the stain is removed.

Additional tips:

If the coffee stain is on a delicate fabric, such as silk or velvet, it is best to consult a professional cleaner.
Do not use bleach to remove coffee stains, as this can damage the fabric.
If the coffee stain is on a light-colored fabric, you may need to use a stronger cleaning solution, such as hydrogen peroxide.
