Coffee Stains On Crocheted Tablecloth

RE: Coffee Stains On Crocheted Tablecloth Post by McKenzie (5) | (05/29/2005) Contact If the tablecloth is white, you may want to try "bluing". It's a liquid that mixes into the wash water, but doesn't damage like bleach would. It's long been used to revitilize whites that have yellowed or become dingy. Good luck!

These products helped keep my baby's clothes in perfect condition with no visible stains. RE: Coffee Stains On Crocheted Tablecloth Post by lunarmom (4) | (05/10/2005) Contact Thank you for all the great tips. I thought about tea-dying (or coffee dying) it after seeing a tip here which is likely what I will end up doing. I had forgotten about Fels Naptha - I used to use it about 25 years ago and it worked great. I'll try that again as well as the biz and clorox II. I'll post later on the results I get. Thanks again! RE: Coffee Stains On Crocheted Tablecloth Post By (Guest Post) (05/10/2005) I have removed old horrendous stains by using 1 cup of powdered "Biz" and 1 cup of "Clorox II" powdered bleach in a bucket of hot water. Stir until the powders dissolve. Add your stained items right away or wait until the mixture cools. I let one item soak for 5 days and the stain ( baby formula from 30+ years ago!!) finally came out! RE: Coffee Stains On Crocheted Tablecloth Post By Claudia (Guest Post) (05/10/2005) If all else fails, think about dyeing your tablecloth in your washing machine. I had an ivory crocheted tablecloth that I dyed a pearl grey. Tan or Grey should cover your stain or at least make it less obvious. RE: Coffee Stains On Crocheted Tablecloth Post By (Guest Post) (05/09/2005) Try some SHOUT either is stick or liquid, let set overnight, if that doesn't work why not soak the tablecloth in coffee and change the color? I bet it would be pretty, I can't guarantee it would work but if it was mine I would try it. Perhaps a dry cleaner could give you some advice.

This is a bar soap you wet and rub into the stain. I have used this to remove set in blood stains and it removed it with no problem at all.
