A comprehensive guide to tackling coffee, wine, and grass stains at home.
Treat stains quickly for best results. Blot, do not rub, and rinse with cold water first unless the care label says otherwise.
Use stain-specific pre-treatment where possible: enzyme-based for food stains, oxygen-based for organic marks, and mild dish soap for oily spots.
When in doubt, avoid high heat until the stain is fully gone. Heat can permanently set many stains into fabric fibers.
