Pre-Treat, if needed
For colored clothing and fabrics, pour Clorox 2® for Colors Stain Remover & Color Brightener directly onto the coffee-stained area and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, making sure not to let it dry. The stain should begin to disappear immediately for both new and set-in coffee stains.
For larger stains or stains that cover an entire piece of clothing or fabric, soak the coffee-stained areas in 1 quart of water mixed with 1 full cup of Clorox 2® for Colors for up to 60 minutes. Stains will begin to disappear for both new and set-in stains.
