The truth is you’re human and accidents can happen to you as it could to anybody else. Thus, there is indeed a possibility that while you’re strolling around, holding that cup of coffee or tea in your hand, you end up spilling it on your carpet - thus, creating quite an unsightly mess.
First of all, note that the best thing you can do to get rid of coffee carpet stains (or tea) is to react to the situation immediately. Right after making the spill, find a white cloth or a bunch of paper towels and begin blotting the stain in order to remove most of it away. Do this from the outside in, because you surely don’t want to make the stain spread which is what’s going to happen if you start from the inside. Also note that it would be best to use white cloth (instead of another color), because you want to avoid the dye of colored cloth to flow into your carpet.
That done, your approach will differ depending on the spill. Is it coffee or tea?
If you spilled coffee, find some liquid dish washing soap and combine it with warm water. Get a sponge and use that to dab over the area before blotting the stain with white cloth. Do this process again using a white vinegar and warm water mixture. After, use clean water to repeat the process.
For tea: Start with the white vinegar and warm water solution. If the stain is still there, now use the liquid dish washing soap mixture. Follow that up with the clean water in order to rinse your carpet thoroughly.
After doing the aforementioned steps for removing either one of the stains, let the area dry and if you still find a bit of the coffee or tea stain left, mix hydrogen peroxide with warm water and spray the solution on the stain. Press with white cloth until the stain is gone.
To cut things short, the pattern for coffee is liquid dish washing soap - vinegar - clean water, while the pattern for tea is vinegar - liquid dish washing soap - clean water. Leave the area to dry. If the stain is stubborn and is still slightly there, use a hydrogen peroxide solution, and voila! Stain is gone.

Hi there!
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I really love to drink coffee in the morning. I usually bring it at the entertainment area where I watch morning news while taking a zip. I also have kids around and normally accident happens. Yesterday, a cup of coffee spilled on our reddish carpet, my son hit the cup while playing with his younger brother. The liquid penetrates in the carpet and the stain was really hard to remove. Good thing I have a friend from
carpet cleaning Roseville CA

I am really amused how a liquid dish washing soap mixed with hot water can removed the coffee stain.

And what about wine stains? I spilled a glass of wine last night and now I don't know how to remove it. A friend of mine told me that it's better to hire someone from an Islington carpet cleaning company, but honestly I don't want to pay for removing a little stain.

Yes, vinegar is really effective. The last time I hired a carpet cleaning Clapham company to remove a few coffee and wine stains, they advised me to use vinegar the next time I spill some of them, and I must admit that it works.

I really hate to have stains on the carpet and especially from coffee. Last summer I just had open in my newly bought tablet the morning news and I left my cup on the ground. When I try to reach it I spilled all my coffee on the flour, because I made it with instant coffee the result was - do not ask! I tried to remove it myself and end it up with the bill for the cleaning services i had purchased.
ReplyDeleteNobody loves stains on the carpet, Nicolas.You should be more careful. I personally do not leave filled cups or glasses on the floor. I do not want to risk ruining my carpet.

One of the second mistakes, many landlords are using a hired carpet cleaning machine. This equipment may damage your carpet because it is not powerful enough to extract all the water and cleaning fluid.

If the stain is alcohol, coffee, tea, liquid foods or urine blot up the surplus spillage but do not rub it back and forth. Use detergent and vinegar solution. Start by working from the outside of the stain moving inward a little at a time. Frequently blot with a dry cloth or you can also use detergent and vinegar. It must be white vinegar and not malt vinegar. Add one tablespoon of vinegar to the detergent solution.
