Things that you will require:

·      Cold water

·      Pre wash stain remover

·      Enzyme containing laundry detergent

·      Chlorine bleach

Steps that you need to take:

1.  Before embarking upon any stain removal method, primarily have a look at the garment’s care instructions. If dry cleaning is recommended then it is preferable that you seek the help of some professional dry cleaner. On the other hand if the care instructions allow laundering or machine wash, then follow the directions given below.

2.  First of all, absorb as much liquid from the stain as possible with the help of absorbent pads or a cotton ball. Make sure that you dab the stain carefully, as rubbing it will only result in spreading the stain further.

3.  Next, place the back side of the coffee stained garment underneath cold, running water or you can also consider soaking this fabric into a tub of cold water for some time, approximately half an hour.

4.  Then, take hold of a pre wash stain remover and use it to treat the stain.

5.  Finally, wash the fabric like you normally do but make sure that you make use of an enzyme based laundry detergent if the coffee which spilled onto your clothing was spiked with milk or cream.

Tips and Warnings:

1.  Club soda and beer can also be used to get rid of coffee stains from fabrics.

2.  Instead of a pre wash stain remover, you can also make use of white vinegar. Dab a cotton ball soaked in white vinegar and use it to blot the coffee stained area.
