The longer you wait, the more the stain sets in and becomes stubborn to remove.

Fortunately, as stain removal specialists know, baking soda is a trusted, effective solution for tackling even dried coffee stains.

How to

1. Wet the stain with cold water.

2. Pour 1 teaspoon of baking soda directly onto the stain.

3. Rub the fabric gently for a few minutes to work the baking soda into the fibers.

4. Let it sit for at least 1 hour—the longer, the better.

5. Wash the garment in the machine as usual.

Result

Your coffee stain should now be completely gone! :-)

If a faint mark lingers after drying, fill a basin with water and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of baking soda. Soak the garment overnight, then machine wash.

This method works reliably on both white and colored fabrics, for any garment like T-shirts or shirts.

Bonus tip

For fresh stains, act immediately: Rinse with cold water right away. Avoid hot water, as it can set the stain permanently.
