Knowing how to remove tea stains is a great skill to have. We, the English are known for drinking tea. Inevitably this will mean the odd spillage now and again. This does not need to ruin your day. The best approach is to be prepared. Different garments, furniture or carpets may require an alternate approach.
Care labels and manufacturer’s information will offer you valuable details. Some may suggest using the help of hot water. Other’s may only allow a dry-cleaning approach. It is always a good idea to test a small, inconspicuous patch if you are trying at-home remedies.
How to remove tea stains from carpet
When we spill tea on an item it is more than likely that we can place it in the wash and let the machine do the hard work. The same can not be said for carpet or rugs. Removing tea stains from carpet can be more stressful.
Different products can be used on different carpets. Some modern carpets now allow you to use bleach and bleach products on your carpet to remove stains. However, other carpets such as wool carpets cannot be washed. Therefore, you need to take care and know exactly how to deal with each of your home carpets.
Our Carpet Cleaning Advice
If you have a tea spillage then it is important that you soak up as much of the tea as possible with some kitchen towel or cloth. It is important not to use coloured clothes as the colour can often transfer in this process if you are not careful. Carpet cleaner can then be mixed with some warm water. Apply the mixture to the stain. Make sure to keep rinsing the cloth you used. Ensure to move inwards so that you are not spreading the stain to a wider area. Once this is complete you will need to rinse the area. This removes all of the carpet cleaning solution. If left on the carpet fibres, it will likely re-soil quickly. Further blot all moisture and leave the carpet to dry.
