class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of people have eggs on hand in their homes, which is fortunate because this ingredient can be used to remove coffee stains. If you already washed your shirt before you noticed the stain, not to worry. This solution should still work for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get rid of the coffee stain on your shirt, first apply the egg yolk directly onto the stain. Let it sit and set in until it dries on the shirt. Once it has dried, apply warm or hot water to the stain. Let dry and you\u2019ll notice a difference in your stain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_stain_fighting_duo_white_vinegar_and_baking_soda\"><\/span>The stain fighting duo: white vinegar and baking soda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach uses two classic stain fighting ingredients: white vinegar and baking soda. Make sure you use white vinegar and be aware that your shirt will smell like vinegar until it is thoroughly washed afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Pour two drops of white vinegar onto the stain<\/li><li>Rub the vinegar into the stain and wait for a couple of minutes.<\/li><li>Sprinkle 1 tsp of baking soda onto the stain.<\/li><li>You can also mix white vinegar in your washing machine for an easier application.<\/li><li>Rinse the solution with warm water and put it in the wash for best results.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_alternate_solution_shaving_cream\"><\/span>An alternate solution: shaving cream<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be thinking, \u2018shaving cream, really?!\u2019 But, if it works, why not? Shaving cream is a rather easy solution to use. All you have to do is simply rub the shaving cream onto the coffee stain; just enough to cover the stain. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Rinse and repeat as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_natural_soap_approach\"><\/span>The natural soap approach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use an all-natural bar of soap. Just rub the dry or slightly wet bar of soap onto the stain and let it sit for one hour. Then, wet the stain with water and scrub with your fingers. Continuing rinsing with water until the soap is removed and you no longer see the stain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Removing_a_coffee_stain_with_laundry_detergent\"><\/span>Removing a coffee stain with laundry detergent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to stick to your laundry room for your stain fighting needs and you don\u2019t have any stain remover on hand, you can just use regular laundry detergent to get rid of coffee stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Blend together 1 tsp of laundry detergent and 2 tsp of cold water.<\/li><li>Scrub the concoction on the stain.<\/li><li>Allow it to sit for five to ten minutes. You can keep it on for longer, but do not let it dry.<\/li><li>Rinse the solution off using cold water<\/li><li>Let dry or throw your shirt through the wash for a fresh look<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Toothpaste_isnt_only_for_your_mouth\"><\/span>Toothpaste isn\u2019t only for your mouth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Toothpaste works wonders for removing stains. It\u2019s easy, convenient, and effective. Just brush on \u00bc of a tsp onto the stain, let sit for a few minutes and rinse. Repeat as needed or until the stain is lighter or non-existent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rubbing_alcohol_removes_coffee_stains_from_delicate_fabrics\"><\/span>Rubbing alcohol removes coffee stains from delicate fabrics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your stain is on leather, silk, satin, or wool \u2013 rubbing alcohol works wonders for removing coffee stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For leather:<\/strong> Rub the stain with water to remove any excess coffee. Use 1 tsp of rubbing alcohol to remove the stain. If the stain leaves a ring, you will have to dry clean it for the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Silk<\/strong>: A 1:1:3 ratio of vinegar, rubbing alcohol, and water works best with silk. Mix the solution together and blot on the stain. Wash after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Satin:<\/strong> The same applies to satin as it does to silk. Use a 1:1:3 ratio of vinegar, rubbing alcohol, and water and follow the same instructions for best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wool:<\/strong> Spot the stain with 90% rubbing alcohol to cover the coffee stain. Rinse or wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_questions_about_coffee_stains\"><\/span>Common questions about coffee stains:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_coffee_stains_permanent\"><\/span>Are coffee stains permanent?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the most part, coffee stains come out. It depends on the age of the stain, the fabric, and the solution that you use. Make sure you get rid of the stain before running your clothes through the dryer, or it will set and become much harder to eliminate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_coffee_stains_come_out_of_all_fabrics\"><\/span>Can coffee stains come out of all fabrics?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Coffee stains can come out of most fabrics using the ingredients mentioned above. Again, it all depends on the size of the stain, how long the stain has been on the shirt for, and what type of fabric the shirt is. Some fabrics are easier to remove coffee stains than others. Make sure you use the right substances for the right materials, so you avoid ruining your shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To <a href=\"https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/how-to-remove-coffee-stains-from-leather\/\">learn how to remove coffee stains from leather, <strong>check out this article<\/strong><\/a><strong>. <\/strong>And to <a href=\"https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/how-to-remove-coffee-stains-from-mattress\/\">remove coffee stains from a mattress,<strong> read here<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_old_coffee_stains_come_out\"><\/span>Will old coffee stains come out?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Old coffee stains will come out depending on the depth of the stain and the material of your clothes. Use one of the following solutions above for the best results. If you do not have faith in your coffee stain removal abilities, take your shirt to the dry cleaners for their assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_one_decrease_their_risk_of_spilling_coffee\"><\/span>How can one decrease their risk of spilling coffee?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The simple answer is, \u2018mistakes happen.\u2019 It\u2019s hard to decrease your risk, but you can be careful when you are drinking or wear something over your shirt to help prevent the coffee from spilling on it. Try not drinking coffee when you are in a moving vehicle to help prevent the coffee from spilling. And always put a lid on your to-go coffee cups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_black_coffee_stain_more_than_coffee_with_milk\"><\/span>Will black coffee stain more than coffee with milk?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It all depends on the stain and the fabric. Black coffee will make the stain darker usually, which might make it harder to come out, but not necessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, whether or not the stain just happened, or it has been there for a month all plays into factor. Try to remove the coffee stain right away, regardless if it is black coffee or coffee that has milk in it. This will help minimize the stain from going deep into your shirt and drying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One type of stain that adding milk to your coffee does help diminish, is a coffee tooth stain. There\u2019s evidence to show that adding milk to your coffee decreases its stain potency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_remove_coffee_stains\"><\/span>How do you remove coffee stains?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coffee stains, while inevitable, can fortunately be removed. You can get rid of them with laundry detergent, rubbing alcohol, soap or baking soda and white vinegar. Alternatively, you can use toothpaste, shaving cream or even egg yolks to get rid of coffee stains on your clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/how-to-remove-coffee-stains-from-shirt-pinterest-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/how-to-remove-coffee-stains-from-shirt-pinterest-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/how-to-remove-coffee-stains-from-shirt-pinterest-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/how-to-remove-coffee-stains-from-shirt-pinterest-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/how-to-remove-coffee-stains-from-shirt-pinterest-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/how-to-remove-coffee-stains-from-shirt-pinterest-1-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/how-to-remove-coffee-stains-from-shirt-pinterest-1-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting a coffee stain is inevitable at some point in life if you are an avid coffee drinker.
