No matter what type of coffee drinker you are, it’s the first thing you think of in the morning, the perfect beverage to drink with friends and it’s even got your back when you’ve had a late night, but you’ve got a busy day ahead.
Coffee really is a beverage sent from the heavens above, but just like anything else, it even has its flaws, (well, flaw) and that is the dreadful stains it leaves.
\So, what do you do when you’ve got a pesky coffee stain you can’t remove? Deluxe Drycleaning share whether dry cleaning can effectively remove coffee stains.
Dry cleaning
Dry cleaning works a little differently from basic laundry. Funny enough, it isn’t a dry process. Chemical solvents are used rather than using water as a solvent.
This method of cleaning is the gold standard for delicate fabrics. It’s much gentler than a machine wash which prevents stretching, shrinkage or general damage.
If you’ve stained your clothes, you simply can’t compete with a dry cleaning service. They use state-of-the-art equipment, the highest strength products and are highly skilled industry professionals with a wealth of knowledge. Using dry cleaners take all the hassle and confusion out of removing a stain, plus, they’re best shot you’ve got to getting your garments looking fresh once again.
Identifying the stain
A coffee stain falls under the tannin stain category which are among the most common, (at least you aren’t the only one) but unfortunately are known to be stubborn. So, best to palm it off the pros.
Time is of the essence
So, the damage is done; this doesn’t mean your clothes are ruined, but it’s important to get your beloved item to the dry cleaners ASAP. The longer the stain sits, the more time is has to oxidise and permanently set in, which reduces the chance of effectively removing the stain.
Dry cleaners are the experts. They assess the stain before they commence treatment as different methods are used depending on the fabric and the type of stain. The chemical solvents used are top shelf and can’t be purchased anywhere else.
Avoid treating the stain yourself
Okay, this may seem counterproductive, but it’s so important to refrain from treating the stain yourself. We know your grandma probably has several potions she swears by, but you’re actually doing more harm than good. Even simply blotting a stain with water can hinder the removal process. Leave the stain as it is, avoid the rubbing stain with a cloth or napkin, as not only could this assist in further setting the stain, but also damaging fabric fibres.
