Then, dip a clean, white cloth into the solution and gently dab at the stain. Remember, rubbing will only push the stain deeper into the carpet fibers, so stick with dabbing.
After applying the solution, you can rinse the area with cold water by dabbing it with another clean, damp cloth and then dry the area by blotting with a dry cloth or paper towel.
Method 2: Vinegar Solution
Another effective method involves creating your own mixture of equal parts warm water and white vinegar.
Once you’ve made the mixture, soak a cloth in the solution and apply it to the stain, letting it sit for about 15 minutes. The acidity in the vinegar will help break down the coffee stain.
Then, after 15 minutes, blot the area with a dry cloth until the stain lifts. Lastly, rinse by dabbing with a water-soaked cloth and blot dry.
Method 3: Baking Soda Paste
A third carpet cleaning option is to mix three tablespoons of baking soda with enough water to create a paste. Afterward, apply the paste directly to the stained area and let it sit until it dries completely, which might take a few hours.
Later, once it’s dry, all you have to do is vacuum up the baking soda. And if the stain is still visible, you can repeat this process or try one of the other methods mentioned.
