How to Remove Coffee Stains
Act fast to make it easier to remove coffee stains. Vanish can help make the stain removal process much easier.
From our morning cappuccino to our post-dinner espresso, coffee is considered a huge part of our daily culture. Unfortunately, coffee stains can be stubborn, exasperating and – if not dealt with properly – can hang around a lot longer than you want them to. But don’t despair! Treating coffee stains with Vanish Oxi Advance Multi Power Powder is fast and easy. The hardworking formula also brightens colours and removes pungent coffee odours from deep within the fibre too!
The best course of action to remove tough stains like coffee from clothing is always to soak the garment first using Vanish. Once you’ve done this, simply wash the item in the washing machine with your normal detergent, adding a dose of Vanish to get superior results.
It’s also important to remember, whether you’re wearing lots of colour or the whitest of whites, the most effective way to remove a coffee stain is to rinse the affected area with cold water as soon as possible – and then follow up with Vanish as quickly as possible afterwards!
