Coffee stains can make an unsightly mess but surprisingly enough they are really not all that hard to remove.

The key to removing any type of carpet stain is to catch it while it's still fresh. Unfortunately that's not always possible, which means that you'll have to work a little harder to the stain out.

This article on how to remove coffee stains from the carpet will show you a quick and easy way to remove even the toughest carpet stains once and for all.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    First, you will need to blot the stained area using a clean white cloth. Be sure to absorb as much of the coffee as possible. If the coffee stain has already dried you can skip this step and go on to step # 2.

  2. Step 2

    Next, flush the carpet stain with clean fresh water and then blot with another clean white cloth until most of the water has been soaked up.

  3. Step 3

    Then mix 1/2 cup of white vinegar to 1 cup of fresh water in a spray bottle, and spray the stain before blotting again with a clean white rag or cloth. By this time most of the stain should be gone and you can proceed to step # 4.

  4. Step 4

    Use a good carpet stain remover on the spot. I prefer spot shot for carpet stains, as it does a superior job of stain removal. But resolve is also good at removing carpet stains.
