Coffee and tea stains appear brownish with irregular edges. They may contain tannins, sugars, fatty acids, alchohols, oils, milk and cream. These stains darken with heat and age.

2. Apply vinegar solution, blot.
3. Apply enzyme detergent, blot.
4. Apply pressure to the spot with a spatula or the back of a tablespoon to work spotting solution deep into spot. DO NOT SCRUB as this may cause nap distortion of the fiber.
5. Rinse thoroughly with water, blot until dry.
