Dealing with Coffee Stains on your Carpets

Coffee spills happen to the best of us, and when they do, they can leave unsightly stains on your carpets. Tackling coffee stains on carpets quickly and effectively can prevent long-lasting damage. Here are some tips to help you remove those tough stains, and when you might need to call in the professionals.

Act Fast

The longer a coffee stain sits, the harder it becomes to remove. As soon as the spill happens, blot the area with a clean cloth or paper towel to soak up as much liquid as possible. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain and push it deeper into the carpet fibres.

Cleaning

After blotting, try a simple cleaning solution by mixing a teaspoon of dish soap with a cup of warm water. Apply this to the stain with a cloth, gently blotting the area to try to lift the stain. If this doesn’t work, don’t double down on the DIY. Homemade solutions may contain harsh chemicals that can damage carpet fibres, lead to colour fading and can even create a breeding ground for mould and mildew.

Rinse and Blot

Once the stain is loosened, rinse the area with clean water to remove any soap residue. Blot the area again with a clean towel until it’s mostly dry, then let the carpet air dry fully.
