coffee stain removal
#25
I buy Awesome from the Dollar Tree stores, I have seen it in other dollars stores, discount stores and such. I buy 2 or 3 bottles at a time and I spray stains before the clothes go into the hamper...when my grands are around I go through a lot of it LOL I have used it on all types of fabrics and so far it has worked on them all. It doesn't hurt if it stays on the fabric for a week or so either... sometimes it takes me a week or so to get to the laundry mat. :wink:
Regular Dawn dish soap is what I use on oil or grease stains...I put a few drops on the stain, rub it in well and throw it in the hamper too :wink:

Try Borax 20 Mule Team Laundry Powder. Make a paste with water and apply directly on fabric. Let it set overnight and rinse. A pitcher of ice tea got spilled on a brand new off white capris and all of it came out with that mixture. That Awesome stuff is very good but I would be careful with fabric. Hope it comes out.

Stretch the stained area over a bowl and secure with a rubber band.
Pour boiling water through the stain from a height of 2 to 3 feet. Stand back to avoid splatters
I think boiling water might set the coffee stain

hi everyone,
i soaked my blocks in vinegar and baking soda overnite. the stain is very stubborn and doesn't want to come out. between the oxyclean and vinegar mixture, my blocks has shrunk by a 1/2 in. so the 5 remainder block may not be completed and another ufo will set until i can decide whether or not to ever complete it. i thank everyone for their suggestions and support.
tea

I feel so badly for you. Should we get a posse together and come steal the other ladies blocks for you?
Since all else has failed, try tea dying them to a uniform color and turn them into funky potholders. Maybe you could try out a new quilting technique on them.
