During the holidays, with the hustle and bustle, activities, and excitement, you are bound to have a few accidents besmirch your carpet. DM Carpet Cleaning has compiled a list of commonly served beverages that can easily be spilled on your carpet and the most optimal way you can remove it.

How to Get Coffee Stains Out of Carpet

– Start by placing plain white paper towels onto the stain and blot. Work on the outer edges, towards the center to work out your stain and contain the soiled area.
– Dilute the coffee stain with the use of a spray bottle or sponge, and apply warm water onto the stain, but do not over saturate.
– Allowing the water to dilute the coffee stain gives you ample time to prepare your solution. Mix together 1/4 tsp of mild liquid dish soap with a liter of warm water.
– Blot up the moisture with white paper towels.
– Generously apply the solution to a white, clean cloth, or paper towel and place the treated towel onto the stain. Using a spoon or blunt surfaced object, gently press the cloth onto the stain.
– Rinse out the cleaning solution using the same method as diluting the coffee.
– Blot away all remaining moisture.
– Towel dry.
