We have all been there. You are enjoying a cup of coffee on your couch when suddenly, you spill the content all over your beautiful sofa. Coffee on the sofa can stain fast if you don’t take any action. But with our help, you can easily remove old or new coffee stains from your sofa.
In this article, we will discuss how to get rid of coffee stains on the couch so you can get the spotless look of your sofa back as soon as possible.
1. Act Fast
If the coffee spill is recent, you have the chance to prevent it from becoming a permanent stain. After you notice a coffee spill on your sofa, immediately spring to action.
- Blot as much liquid as you can with a paper towel.
- Avoid rubbing the stain, as that can push it deeper into the upholstery fibers. Instead, blot it gently.
- Use water to clean the spill by gently blotting it with a cloth.
- Once you remove the stain, use a different towel to blot the excess moisture from the sofa and let it dry.
If you are lucky and clean the spill quickly, congratulations. But if the spill sets in, you can use other methods to remove it.
2. Make a Cleaning Solution
You can use household items to make an effective cleaning solution for your upholstery. You will need the following items.
- White vinegar
- Warm water
- Normal water
- Spray bottle
- Sponges
- Clean towel
In the spray bottle, mix ⅔ cup warm water and ⅓ cup white vinegar and shake them well to make an upholstery cleaning solution.
3. Stain Removal
After making the cleaning solution, do the following.
- Dampen the sponge with the upholstery cleaning solution without soaking it.
- Start cleaning the stain from the outside to the inside without rubbing it to avoid setting the stain deeper into your carpet.
- Take a different sponge and dampen it with clean water.
- Remove the cleaning solution from the sofa with the sponge with clean water.
- If the coffee stain is still visible, repeat the process until the stains are gone completely.
It may take 2-3 tries to get rid of stubborn coffee stains.
