How to get coffee out of clothes

Rinse the coffee stain promptly with cool water, then pretreat with laundry or enzyme detergent; quick action gives the best chance of removal.

Read the care label before trying any stain-removal method.
Pretest the detergent on an inconspicuous area to check colorfastness.
Rinse the stained area promptly with cool water.
Blot the stain with a clean cloth; do not rub.
Pretreat the stain with laundry or enzyme detergent.
Use a soft brush only to work the detergent in gently, then rinse with cool water.

Don't do this

Do not use anything prohibited by the care label, because it can damage the clothes.
Do not skip the colorfastness pretest, because the fabric may change color.
Do not rub the stain, because rubbing can spread it or work it deeper into the fabric.

If the stain remains after these steps, use a commercial product made for this, used per its label.
