Tea Stain Removal

Tea Stain Removal

Tea stains can be removed by dipping a sponge in white vinegar and applying to the stain.  Wash the garment per care label instructions.  Don't throw the garment into the dryer, as the heat will set any remaining stains.  You can also soak the garment in a solution of 3 cups of white vinegar to one cup of water.  Place in a large glass bowl and soak.  Then, rub the garment to remove any lingering residue and rinse in cold water.  If the stain persists, rub with salt.  Rinse, and launder as usual.

  1. Mix one teaspoon of a mild pH balanced detergent (a mild non alkaline non bleaching detergent) with a cup of lukewarm water
  2. Blot
  3. Mix one third cup of white household vinegar with two thirds cup of water.
  4. Blot

Note: Always test an inconspicuous area for colorfastness, etc. before treating the exposed area. Also note that certain stains are permanent
