Coffee stain removal can be done easily if you follow a few simple tips. As with any stain, coffee stain removal should be done immediately if possible. The longer the stain has a chance to set, the harder it will be to remove.
Using a clean white cloth, blot the stain to remove any excess liquid. Coffee stain removal can also be done with a mixture of dishwashing liquid and luke warm water or with the use of 1/3 cup of white vinegar and 2/3 cups of luke warm water. You can use either coffee stain removal solution and sponge gently to remove the stain.
Once the stain has been lifted, you should rinse with cold water and launder according to the labeled instructions for care.
Coffee Stain Removal for Carpet
Coffee stain removal on carpet can be done in the same manner as above. Using the same solutions of dish detergent and water or vinegar and water, the area can be blotted, sponged, blotted, and rinsed.
If the coffee stain removal left behind any excess discoloring, you can use your shampooer for further results.

If you're tired of paying for costly commercial household cleaners, it may interest you to learn that you can easily make your own toilet bowl cleaner with the aid of a few household items. The following steps will teach you two of the most common recipes for homemade toilet cleaners.
Tools and Materials Needed
- Bleach
- Water
- Borax
- Lemon juice
- Vinegar
- Empty spray bottles
- Toilet brush
Step 1 - Make a Bleach-based Cleaner
Bleach is the active ingredient in a highly effective homemade toilet bowl cleaner. Begin by combing 1 cup of bleach with 5 to 10 cups of warm water. Stir the mixture and fill the empty spray bottle, taking care to pour any excess into additional spray bottles for later use. After spraying down your toilet bowl, allow your cleaning solution to sit for 1 to 3 minutes before using a toilet brush to expel any grime from your toilet bowl.Step 2 - Make a Borax-based Cleaner
If your toilet bowl has been plagued by stubborn stains, combine 1 cup of borax with 1/4 cup of vinegar or lemon juice. After mixing the solution, pour the toilet bowl cleaner into an empty spray bottle and proceed to vigorously spray down your toilet. Allow the cleaner to set for 15 to 20 minutes and use a hard-bristled toilet brush to scrub the stains away.

Tips! - Caring For Your Down Pillows - From Time Saver Maids
Tips! - From Time Saver Maids
Caring For Your Down Pillows
Nothing compares to the delicious luxury of lying your head on down pillows. With proper care, a down pillow can provide years of indulgent sleep cradling comfort.
Use a Pillow Liner
All down pillows need a 100% cotton zip pillow liner to protect the ticking. This liner is in addition to a pillow case. This will protect your pillow from head oils and humidity. It will also help contain the small down fluffs from working their way out of the pillow while maintaining the pillow's shape. A daily fluffing is the next step in caring for your feather pillows. This prevents the feathers from clumping and provides air circulation, preventing dust from getting into the pillow.
Twice a year, it's time to air out those pillows. Hang them on a clothes line to swing in the breeze for a day or find another airy location near a window or in a sun room. Do not hang them in the bathroom; there will be too much moisture.
Deep Clean Annually
An annual deep clean is the final step to keep your feather pillows fresh. Read the manufacturers instructions on the label to determine allowable methods. Some will be limited to dry cleaning only. Before laundering, check pillow carefully for any small slits or holes to avoid a feathery mess surprise in your washing machine. Repair as needed.

Before laundering, check pillow carefully for any small slits or holes to avoid a feathery mess surprise in your washing machine. Repair as needed.
If you decide to wash your pillows there are two methods:
- Wash with a front loading wash machine. Top loaders are too harsh on these types of pillow. The best front loaders to use are the large industrial types found at the laundry mat. These large loaders put minimal pressure on the pillow providing ample space to do a thorough job of cleaning without squashing or flattening the pillow. Use the delicate setting with a mild detergent.
When drying, use the lowest warm setting possible. Toss a few clean, dry towels in with the pillow to accelerate drying times. Clean tennis balls tossed into the dryer will also help the pillow stay fluffy while drying. Insure pillows are completely dry before returning them to your bed.
- Hand wash your down pillows. Using a large utility sink or even the bath tub would be fine. Gently hand manipulate the pillow for 10 minutes. Once washed, do not wring out! Squeeze the pillow just enough to remove most of the water, then place in dryer, set on the lowest warm setting. Add the dry towels and tennis balls.
Do not be alarmed if you smell an odor from your wet pillows. This is a normal characteristic of all down products and will disappear when completely dry. It will take approximately 2 to 3 hours for your pillow to be completely dry, to be put back in the pillow case.
