1. Use the product “Urine Gone.” Works well for pet or people stains/odors.

2. One part white vinegar mixed with 2 parts dishwashing liquid. Blot as much urine as you can with paper towels. Apply mixture generously on stain with wet sponge or cloth. Let sit for half an hour. Using a clean cloth, blot as much of the soap mixture as possible. Sprinkle wet area liberally with cornstarch and vacuum away when dry.

3. Mix a syrupy paste using cornstarch and water, enough to cover the stain and stir until all lumps have gone. Pour mixture over the stain and leave for several hours until dry. Vacuum dry mixture.

4. Peroxide, baking soda and dish soap combination – mix this and spray on. You must use it within twenty minutes and you cannot store any remaining mixture. It produces short-acting by-products that are only active for a brief time. If you try to store it, it will leak or foam out of the bottle.

Mix 8 oz hydrogen peroxide, 3 tablespoons baking soda and a drop of dishwashing liquid. Mix well and spray onto urine stain. Stain should be gone in about five minutes. If the baking soda leaves a white powder, this can be vacuumed off or wiped away with a damp cloth. This is usually only a problem if too much baking soda is used.

5. Resolve carpet cleaner.

Mattress pads and bedwetting diapers can be useful in managing bedwetting while the causes are dealt with. Bedwetting children are usually heavy sleepers and have not yet learned to wake to the signal of a full bladder. In younger children, the body’s urine-reduction system is still developing and it is impossible for children to stop bedwetting unless they are developmentally ready.

Often they occur early in the morning when the coffee drinker is not yet even fully awake and more prone to clumsiness and spilling. Unfortunately, this also means that the spiller is also usually not in the mood to abandon the morning routine and begin immediately cleaning a coffee stain. This is regrettable because the longer a coffee stain is allowed to sit, the more difficult it will be to clean. It is important to keep this in mind when tending to a coffee stain; the sooner you begin cleaning the stain site, the better.

Before applying any stain removing solution to the area, attempt to blot up as much of the coffee as is possible. The more coffee you absorb using a rag or paper towel, the less of it will mix in the fabric you are trying to clean and the easier the stain will be to treat.

One method of cleaning up coffee stains is to mix equal parts white vinegar and water and thoroughly rinse the area with the solution. Allow the mixture some time to set in, and rinse the site with water and blot it up with a paper towel or absorbent rag.

Another method is to mix a small amount of non-bleaching detergent with a sizable quantity of water. Then, follow the same procedure as listed with the vinegar and water mixture.

Many people prefer to use store bought spot cleaning brands that use active enzymes to facilitate the cleaning. These products are often very successful at cleaning out tough stains such as coffee stains because the active enzymes naturally break down and biodegrade the organic stain causing molecules. When purchasing a store bought stain remover product, it is generally advisable to shoot for a product that uses non-toxic ingredients, so it will be safe to use around pets and children. Non-toxic cleaning products are also less prone to damaging your carpeting or other fabrics.

Whichever coffee stain cleaning method you decide to utilize, always be sure to do a spot test with the cleaning solution you are going to use. Choose a remote location on your carpeting and apply a small amount of the mixture. If you see no change in coloration of the fabric after a few minutes, then the solution is safe to use.

I’ve found the easiest way to clean Coffee Stains is with Nature’s Miracle Stain and Odor Remover. It is safe for use around pets and kids plus it works quickly and naturally to thoroughly destroy all stains and odors (that are organic) on carpets, hardwood floors and many other types of surfaces. Nature’s Miracle is the safest and best working stain remover on the market today.
