how to get coffee stains out?
What a great morning I had.For once I was leaving 5 minutes before schedule for work this morning (I'm usually at the last minute) on my way to the car I spill my coffee on my beige summer dress Got back inside and changed.I rinced the dress very quickly and off i went to work.Now I put some ZOUT on it (stain remover) and put the dress in the washing machine.It did nothing,the dress has died :sad: Is there anything I can do?Other than a proper burial that is

I know,it's the first thing that pop in my mind.That is why I don't own to many light colour clothes.I always have "accidents"!But I really like that dress

Vinegar again!!
My dad is convinced of the all mighty benefits of vinegar. He cooks, cleans, disinfects everything in vinegar. His whole house smells of vinegar. I installed his a/c in my house. When i turned it on, the smells of vinegar shot through the house. I'd try the vinegar, F! There are no coffee stains on my dad's shirts. |

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Good Luck!! Sorry... I'm actually laughing at myself. Our dress code at work involves white collared or polo shirts... I have gone through sooo many of them because of coffee stains. Nothing gets them entirely out.

As a last resort, soak the whole dress in coffee. You'd just get a darker beige dress out of it.

I will try the vinegar for sure!I clean EVERYTHING with vinegar!Dripping the whole dress in coffee is not a bad idea either Puppyluv,I could NEVER work somewhere if I had to wear white.I'M like a kids,it takes about 10 minutes and I got dirty.Sometimes I get to work and bang,a stain,I don't even know how it got there.You can be sure I never eat spaghetti on a first date

lol - Glasslass I love your idea!! It actually sounds like it would work. I'd try the vinegar first though. I find when I use Shout on stains it says to spray and wash right away but I let it sit overnight first - that may not be good with an acidic vinegar though.

Thanks TD for the "recipes",I tried 2 of them.For future references;they don't work!(or maybe they do but right after the spill) I've tried the vinager and water and the backing soda.So I will dye my dress black (like I don't have enough black already ) and will make sure to wear black while I'm dying it!

Frenchy, I'm feeling your pain right now. I took off my apron for two minutes today, and during that time, I spilt a quad allonge espresso all over myself (that would be 4 long shots of espresso) and then a large chai tea (black tea stains as much as coffee).... soo my shirt is dead, and I don't even want to mention the burns I got on the insides of my thighs from it.

Removing coffee stains from Hailey's Hints
I found this in Hailey's Hints and it sounds as if it may just work:
"Spray the area with hairspray. Rub with a bar of soap and rinse in cold water." Warm and hot water will just set the stain so trying what is suggested may be the key.

Why don't you get the dress professionally cleaned and show them where the stain is. Maybe they have some cleaners that can take the stain out?
