How to Remove a Coffee Stain From a Cotton Shirt

By Home & Garden Last updated Tuesday, June/04/2024

1). Blot the shirt with dry paper towels to absorb excess coffee. Always use clean paper towels to prevent transferring coffee back onto the shirt.
2). Saturate a white cotton cloth with cold water. Blot the stain with the cloth to lift as much coffee from the fabric as possible. Always use a clean portion of the cloth to prevent reapplying coffee to the shirt.
3). Apply pre-treatment stain remover directly onto the remaining coffee stain. Use the amount of stain remover recommended on the product's label. Gently rub the stain remover into the fabric.
4). Launder the shirt in a clothes washer as instructed on the shirt's care label. Add oxygen bleach to the wash according to the manufacturer's directions.
5). Let the shirt thoroughly air dry.
6). Inspect the shirt for any remaining traces of coffee. Repeat the process if any coffee stains remain.
