Which is the Best Way to Remove a Coffee Stain from Carpet without Stain Remover?

By Joan Clark

Which is the best way to remove old coffee stains from carpet without stain remover? My dad has Parkinson’s and he struggles with spilling things. He’s also allergic to a lot of chemical cleaners. Is there a natural way to clean up coffee marks?

I’m sorry that your dad is ill. And you’re right, you can remove a spill like this naturally without buying expensive stain removers that contain harsh chemical ingredients. The best way to remove a tough coffee stain from a carpet is to use dish soap, baking soda, and white vinegar. Follow these next steps to clean the rug.

For how to get spilled coffee out of carpet in the house or in your car, first, squeeze a small amount of the dishwashing liquid onto the mark. Use a clean rag to gently work it into the fibers without scrubbing too hard. Spray some water onto the area you treated with soap but try not to oversaturate the area.

Blot the spot until it’s just damp, then sprinkle baking soda on top of it. Let it sit until it’s fully dry and you can vacuum it. Sometimes those two steps aren’t enough to remove the stain, and that’s when you need the vinegar. You can also use this solution to get coffee stains out of cotton clothes if the spill gets on shirts or pants, as well as the carpet.

As a sidenote, vinegar works also great to remove light urine or wax stains from your carpet and other fabrics. See our how to get candle wax out of carpetpost for a slightly different vinegar spot cleaner recipe.

Combine one tablespoon vinegar, one tablespoon dish soap, and two cups of warm water. Sponge the mark with the mixture. Then alternatesponging and blotting with a dry towel until the stain disappears. Finish up by wiping gently with a damp cloth and cool water until the residue is gone.

Note that this recipe also works to clean coffee pot stains, too. This multi-purpose cleaner actually can take care of many different kinds of stains around the house. Mix the ingredients in a spray bottle to keep handy for spills and stain removal.

Now, these two methods work well on fresh spills, but you’ll need a different approach for older spots. Mix a paste from one part baking soda to one part water and massage it into the carpet. Once it dries, you can brush out the stain, then vacuum. You might need to repeat the process, too.
