Coffee Catastrophe: Brew No More Blues

-


 Coffee spills can be a headache, but with these steps, you’ll erase those stains in no time:

  1. Blot, Don’t Rub: Gently blot the stain with a paper towel or cloth to soak up as much liquid as possible. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.

  2. Cold Water Rinse: Rinse the back of the stain with cold water to help push out as much coffee as possible. For fresh stains, this alone may lift most of the stain.

  3. Apply Baking Soda Paste: Make a paste with baking soda and water, apply it to the stain, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. The baking soda helps lift the dark color. Rinse thoroughly with cold water.

  4. Vinegar and Dish Soap Solution: For tougher stains, mix a tablespoon of white vinegar with a few drops of dish soap, apply it to the stain, and let it sit for another 5-10 minutes. This combo works to cut through any residual coffee oils.

  5. Pre-Treat with Laundry Detergent: Rub a small amount of liquid laundry detergent into the stain, let it sit for 10 minutes, and rinse well with cold water.

  6. Wash in Cold Water: Launder in cold water as usual and air-dry, checking to ensure the stain is gone. Repeat as needed before applying heat, as heat can set any remaining mark.

With these steps, coffee stains will be a thing of the past!

  Here are some tips to keep your towels fluffy and fragrant: Use Vinegar : Adding half a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle when washing towels can help remove detergent residues that can make towels feel stiff. It also helps to keep towels smelling fresh. Avoid Fabric Softeners : While fabric softeners might make towels feel softer initially, they can reduce the absorbency of towels over time and leave behind residues that can make towels less fluffy. Dry Completely : Ensure that your towels are thoroughly dry before folding and storing them. Damp towels can develop a musty odor over time. If you're using a dryer, avoid over-drying as it can make towels stiff. Use a low or medium heat setting instead. Shake Before Folding : After removing towels from the dryer, give them a good shake to fluff up the fibers before folding. This helps prevent them from becoming compressed and maintains their fluffy texture. Use Baking Soda : If towels develop a stubborn odor, you can add half
