Title: tea/coffee stain removal?
Post by: CRAIG LIND on March 13, 2005, 01:53:26 pm

I have Been hunting for an effective tea/coffee stain remover for some months, not much joy, any help or advice.
I have visited someone who has a tea stain, been down for about a year, he has had a carpet cleaner out to do a stain removal, but hasnt been effective. Is there any chance???? ???

Hi Inside Out Cleaning

There are a number of ways to treat coffe/tea/ tanni removal. but a little more informationrequired before offering an answer, what type of carpet are we talking about and what has been attempted to remove the mark to date, Coffee, tea etc are not stains but new introduced dye and are therefore treated differently to normal stain removal.

Best regards Nick
