Below is a video giving carpet coffee stain removal tips.
There are several things I really like about this video, which include:
1. That the video makes a distinction between coffee stain removal from your carpet when you have spilled black coffee, coffee with cream in it, or coffee with sugar in it.
This may, at first, seem like a arbitrary distinction, but when you begin to combine ingredients like cream and sugar into the coffee, it becomes a "combination stain."
A combination stain generally takes additional steps to remove, because you have to remove all parts of the stain, and it uses different steps.
Further, you have to be careful not to set one part of the stain while treating another part of it.
(To learn more about how Stain-Removal-101.com suggests dealing with combination stains involving coffee, see How To Remove Coffee Stains.)
2. I like that the video emphasizes not saturating the carpet fibers too much.
This is one of the most common mistakes in carpet stain removal, and it can cause mildew in the carpet if the area does not dry out enough, and also deterioration of the carpet backing and pad.
3. Finally, I like how the video shows carpet coffee stain removal methods that start with the least, to the most aggressive.
It is important in stain removal to always try to gentlest method for removal first, and only go to the harsher treatments if needed.
