Coffee Stains in Carpet?

I spilled some coffee on the carpet and nothing seems to take it out at the moment. Do you have any ideas?

    Preen carpet stain remover ~ you just spray it on, leave it for about 1 minutes and then use a dry cloth and using a circular movement rub gently on the stain and it should come off ~ good luck :)

    If you have a bottle of hydrogen peroxide it can be safely used to clean coffee stains from the carpet. pour it on the stain, and let it soak an hour. There will be no need to rinse it. After an hour put some paper towels on the stain and place a heavy object on the paper towel. It will draw the peroxide to the paper towel.Peroxide is very inexpensive and will not stain your carpet.Good luck.

    Never attempt to remove any stains from your carpet with a laundry product. I've seen hundreds of damaged nylon wall to wall carpets damaged permanently by people using Oxy Clean Laundry detergent on them. Also, never use a bleach either. Keep all laundry products in the laundry room. Many people I know have had success with coffee stain removal by treating the stain with white vinegar. Then blott it out and dry with a terry cloth towel by stepping on it with all your weight. If all else fails, your local hot water carpet/upholstery cleaner can remove the stain with commercial grade spotters made for this purpose. He/she has the ability to rinse/extract the stain after treating it. go to www.iicrc.org to locate a pro in your locale.

    Blot the area with a clean, white cloth to absorb all the liquid you can. Blot from the outside of the stain in to avoid spreading the stain.

    Mix 1 teaspoon clear, mild liquid dish washing detergent with 1 cup lukewarm water.

    Sponge the area with the detergent solution. Blot again with a clean, white cloth.

    Mix 1/3 cup white vinegar with 2/3 cup lukewarm water.

    Sponge the area with the vinegar solution. Blot with a clean, white cloth.

    Sponge the area with clean water. Blot with a clean, white cloth.

    Good luck

    I have a really good one actually that my teacher told me about that works really well. You pour poroxide on the stain and it will foam and bring the stain up and you just dab it with a towel or paper towel and its gone. Hope this helps.
