<\/p>\nIt only takes a few simple steps to remove coffee stains from carpets, even old, dry fixed stains. You can use common household items like vinegar, baking soda, and hydrogen peroxide to remove tannins, which can leave dark coffee stains and sticky milk and cream residues on carpets.<\/p>\n
Coffee stain removal on carpets works best if you dispose of and blot up as much liquid as possible quickly after a spill. Never scrub the stain as it can damage the carpet. Also, don’t over-wet the carpet as it may penetrate the underneath the carpet and promote mold growth.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Follow the instructions below to use everyday household items to remove dark tannins or milk proteins, which can make coffee stains difficult (but not impossible) to remove.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Use a clean white cloth to suck as much coffee as you can. Press a new, clean cloth over the stain until no more coffee is transferred to the cloth. Always treat the stain from the outside to the middle to prevent the stain from spreading.<\/p>\n
Warning: Do not scrub carpets, this will damage the fibers and stain the stains. Instead, use a blotting or pressing motion without any back and forth movements.<\/p>\n

Check for stains and repeat the above steps if the stains persist.<\/p>\n
Old coffee stains don’t have to be permanent. Use vinegar and baking soda to remove old and dry coffee stains from carpets.<\/p>\n
The cleaning combination of vinegar and baking soda is a natural and effective way to remove coffee stains without damaging the carpet. Make your own carpet stain remover with vinegar and dish soap, then sprinkle with baking soda. Let it air dry, then vacuum it.<\/p>\n
If left untreated, coffee may leave permanent stains. Remove stains quickly; the longer you wait, the more difficult it will be. The best option for removing dry stains is to use a combination of vinegar, dish soap, and baking soda.<\/p>\n
Try cold water first. Blot dry and repeat. If that’s not strong enough, other options include beer and toothpaste. The acid in light-colored beer breaks down tannins, while white toothpaste is strong enough to clean tooth enamel and coffee stains on carpets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
