How to Remove Coffee & Tea Stains From Fabric

Video Transcript

"I'm Lauren Roy from Sugar Hollow Farm in Phillipston, Mass. Stains are really difficult, especially if you get them on your clothes. But I'm going to show you a natural way of getting coffee stains out of fabric. The best thing obviously to do would be to get to this as soon as it happens. And you want to rinse it in cold water, and take a little glycerin and rub it into the fabric. Then launder as you normally would. But if you have an old stain that has been able to set you can take the same idea and soak your fabric in the glycerin and let it set for awhile and then launder as you normally would. Remembering that a good detergent that has enzymes as one of the cleaning agents will work better because it breaks down the enzymes in the coffee that is setting the stain. Then you can launder it but don't dry it because if the stain doesn't come out the first time you don't want to dry it and set the stain in. You can just repeat all of the steps and wash it again.
