How to remove coffee stains
At the end of a long tiring day, there is nothing we all love more than brewing a fresh cup of coffee and sinking into the couch to enjoy a few moments of well-earned bliss. But a hot cup of coffee can leave behind a stain. Coffee spilled on a surface can be wiped up immediately with almost no stubborn staining. However, if allowed to set, the coffee may leave a tough stain that can be hard to remove.
There are multiple solutions to remove coffee stains from a coffee table or work top, and all it takes are a few basic household supplies that can be found in any home.
Things you will need
Baking soda
A Cloth
WD-40® Multi Use product
White vinegar
Step 1
Try Vinegar
For recent dry stains, pour up to 1 teaspoon of white vinegar over the stain and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Once the stain is dissolved, clean the area with a cloth and let it dry.
Step 2
Use Baking Soda
Another option to remove coffee stains is baking soda. Mix one part of baking soda into warm water and apply this solution with a white cloth in a circular motion to the stain. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes, then wipe it off with paper towels or a cloth.
Step 3
Apply WD-40
While these solutions may eliminate the light stains, dark or set stains are difficult to remove. So, now is the time to try WD-40 Multi-Use product.
Simply spray WD-40 directly on the stubborn stains, then wipe them away with a clean cloth.
All done
So, the next time you have coffee stains on your coffee table, don’t panic. Clean it up in a jiffy and get right back to enjoying a fresh cup of coffee in little to no time at all.
In fact, WD-40 can also remove coffee stains from a variety of surfaces, including floor tiles, carpets and leather. It can also shift coffee stains from clothing.
All that you need to do is spray a little WD-40 onto the stain. Give it time to work and either rub it off with a clean cloth or, if appropriate, put the item in the washing machine.
