What’s the best way to get a coffee stain out of a nice cotton shirt?

This morning I spilled my cappuccino all over my nice cotton work shirt. I put it in a bucket of cold water where it will stay until I figure out the best method to use.

    First, Lay the stain over a bowl, stretching it out, this way you have the stain only to work with over the bowl. Now, sprinkle some Borax on the stain, (this is found in the laundry section of the supermarket) Now, drizzle the hottest water possible for the fabric (read the label to find this out, may have to use warm water, don’t want to damage the fabric) Pour the water/drizzle it right through the stain, working in a circle along the stain as you’re pouring. This should take it right out. Launder as usual.

    Next time, you can try and blot, NOT rub the stain with some club soda, it usually helps to lift the stain out of the fabric and the salt in it prevents it from staining, this is what works for linen napkins and tablecloths with coffee stains.

    If none of this works, I LOVE the Spray and Wash stain stick and use it for everything, it hasn’t failed me yet. I usually put it on, then launder as usual and it comes right out! Even old stains this has worked on.

    I hope this helps! Good luck!
