It is essential to mop up as much as possible at once. Remember coffee can
dye fabrics. Dissolve biological detergent in very warm water and soak item
as long as is needed to remove stain. Rinse in cold water, then wash as usual.
Non Washable Fabrics
Mop up, carefully sponge with warm water. If the stain persists take to the
dry-cleaners.
Carpets and Furnishings
Mop up, then sponge with clear water. Blot up excess liquid then treat
with cleaning solvent. Most coffee stains on carpets respond to being
sprayed with warm water from a soda syphon. Persistent stains can respond
to a mixture of 1 part glycerine to 1 part warm water; applied to the stain
and left for half an hour then sponged off with warm water.
