217.0. "COFFEE STAINS" by ESPN::SMITH () Mon Feb 03 1986 07:10

This may not be the place for this question, but I couldn't find a notes
file for it.  Does anyone have any suggestions to remove coffee stains from
clothes?  I have a couple of things (that cannot be bleached) that I managed
to spill coffee on and they have not come out using commercial stain removers
(ie: shout) or liquid detergent directly on the stain.  HELP!!!

This sounds like a job for ASKENET!

Try
	EXIT26::SYS$NOTES:ASKENET       

and/or (if you have VAXNotes)

	EXIT26::NOTES$LIBRARY:ASKENET_V2

(Sorry, but I've no idea how to get rid of the stains if they've already
resisted stain removers.)

    I just started reading these notes, so my answer is late, BUT,
    I have had terrific success removing the worst stains with any
    of the hand cleaners advertised for removing car grease.
    
    The one I have at home is called GoJo (or Go-Jo). The products
    are usually petroleum-based and remove just about any stain
    while somehow managing not to add petroleum stains to the
    fabric.
    
    By the way, they're also great for washing your hands after you've
    greased the car, planted your garden, repaired a bicycle chain...

    This response is well over a year old, but it may help someone else.
    Try making a paste of baking soda and a grease cutting dish detergent,
    I have found it takes out felt marker stains, tea stains, red ink
    stains and even oil on white bathing suits, when nothing else would
    work!
