How to Remove Coffee Stains

Act fast. Blot the stain immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Don't rub – just press gently to absorb as much coffee as possible.

Rinse with cold water. Turn the fabric inside out and hold it under cold running water. This pushes the stain out rather than deeper into the fibres.

Apply stain remover or liquid detergent. Work it gently into the stain and let it sit for 5–10 minutes.

Wash at the right temperature. Check the care label. Most cotton shirts can handle 40°C, which is effective against coffee stains. For delicates, stick to 30°C.

Check before drying. Make sure the stain is gone before putting your clothes in the dryer – heat can set stains permanently.

What to Avoid by stain removal

Don't use hot water first. Hot water can set the stain and make it harder to remove.

Don't rub the stain. Rubbing spreads it and can damage the fabric. Always blot.

Don't skip the care label. Washing at the wrong temperature can shrink or damage your clothes.

Don't put stained clothes in the dryer. If the stain is still visible after washing, repeat the treatment instead.
