Reclining Armchairs: Stained Lay-Z-Boy
I have spilt black coffee on a cream recliner chair. The stain has been left to dry. Does anyone else have one like this? How do I get it out? Help!

We've started using something new, as the company that made what we used to used closed. It's a carpet cleaning product called LAs totally awesome carpet spot and stain remover. $1/quart at dollar tree. Rinse with water to remove cleaner after removing stain.

A tannic stain remover will remove coffee stains. If in doubt, call a professional upholstery clean. Check your cleaning label, as not all uphostery fabrics can be cleaned with water-based cleaners.

coffee can be a pain...recent studies have determined that decaf coffee contains more dyes, as a result of them trying to remove some of the caffeine...so sometimes a tannin remover, will need help afterwards with a oxidizer.
also if it was coffee with cream a protein spotter may be needed afterwards
by the time your done with just that one spot...it may clean spot it requiring the cleaning of the whole chair
when in doubt call a pro...most will be doing specials this time of year for the holidays

I've successfully removed black coffee stains from off white carpet using a solution of 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 club soda. Apply the solution, let it sit for a few hours, blot it with a dye free towel and use a shop vac to remove the excess water. If it doesn't work the 1st time, try putting the solution on the spot and then add baking soda on top. Let that sit for a few hours and vacuum it up. This has worked on about every stain imaginable, and I hope it will work for you. Good luck.
