Removing tea and coffee stains requires quick action and the right approach to prevent the stain from setting. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to effectively remove tea and coffee stains.
Act Quickly:
Begin the stain removal process as soon as possible. The fresher the stain, the easier it is to remove.
Blot Excess Liquid:
Use a clean, white cloth or paper towel to blot (not rub) the excess tea or coffee from the fabric. Blotting helps absorb the liquid without spreading the stain.
Rinse with Cold Water:
Rinse the stained area under cold running water. Hold the fabric with the wrong side facing the water to push the stain out of the fabric fibers.
Soak the Fabric:
Allow the fabric to soak in cold water with detergent for at least 15-30 minutes. This gives the detergent time to break down the stain.
Check the Stain:
After soaking, check the stain. If it's still visible, repeat the pre-treatment process with additional detergent.
Wash as Usual:
Wash the garment as you normally would, following the care label instructions. Use the recommended amount of enzymatic detergent for the load.
By following these steps and using an enzymatic detergent like BreeO, you can effectively tackle tea and coffee stains and keep your clothes looking fresh. Always refer to the care labels on your garments for specific washing instructions and guidelines.
