I got a spill on my carpet with coffee one morning going to work, is there anything that helps get it out? It isn't on the rug (couldn't be that lucky) so removing and power washing is out. The fabric is a light color too, so it really sticks out.

 

Got a shop vac with wet suction? Wet it down, soap it up, extract, wet it down again with water, extract, wet extract, extract again, put a fan on it... forget about the spill.

 

Look in your local Yellow Pages under "janitorial supplies." They will have the good commercial grade stuff, unlike what you get at the local big-box stores for homeowners. What you want is a Tannin Remover for fabric and upholstery. Some places only sell in full cases (12 quarts), keep calling around until you find someone that sells individual quarts.

Follow the directions on the label exactly. Coffee stains are one of the easiest stains to remove.

 

oxi-clean....
I have used it to some success on a number of items. I used warm water and disolved the solution in that and applied.

 

I spilled a whole LARGE Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee on the passenger side floor carpet in 90 degree weather and it sat in the sun all day. I just took it to a car wash and they shampoooooood it for me. That did the trick.

 

I have the solution.
Don't eat or drink in your car.

 

Be careful with oxiclean, it will discolor if left...

 

Actually, it wasn't me or my car that this happened. Only thing in my car is allowed is water bottle that can only be drank from either at stop or on the highway.

 

I second that ,Be careful of ox-cleen. Just get some warm soapy dish detergent in a small bowl and use a small brush and start scrubbing lightly the most unnoticable place, first. Before you use something that may discolor the carpet with chemicals. Rinse often and use a shop vac to extract the water. Nick G. (((( RENNTREFFEN BUMP ))))

 

i spilled a whole dunkachino on the passenger floor and seat, but my interiors black and i wiped it upand used some carpet cleaner from the parts store and you can't tell.

 

Don't rub it too hard. Use warm water and some non-heavy duty cleaner. If it's heavy duty you'll bleach it. Good luck.

 

i had real good luck with Prestone interior cleaner. works good in the house too. my cat knocked over my ashtray and someone walked it into the carpet, used the prestone stuff and ud never know what a mess there was. and yeah the oxi clean is good too but it can fade easily if u use to much..got some oil stains outa my carhart jacket lickidy split, and also faded the hell outa it.

 

Third on the oxi-clean...be attentive. Whats with the Dunkin' coffee trends for Porsche owners? No Cup holder therefore no cup!

 

Lick it up. Be careful with the Oxy-Clean. It will work but you have to remove it quickly or it will discolor the carpet. I was pissed off when I learned that the hard way.
