How to Remove Tea Stains?

Our dear can take a nice cup of tea from time to time - but of course not on our favorite T-shirt! Since the stains are inevitable when tea is poured (especially if there are children at home), it is best to remove it without sitting.

You can clean any tea stain by following the steps below before the stain fits.

Options to remove tea stain from your clothes or fabric

So that wonderful tea is now enjoying on your new tablecloth? Don't be terrified, just move fast - and get ready to restore your tablecloth to spotlessness as soon as possible.

First, rub the tea stain under cold water using a sponge and see if it comes out.

-Press the entire fabric in cold water and leave it for about half an hour. The best option for stubborn stains would be to add some detergent in the water and leave the fabric in this solution overnight.

-If your fabric is durable (you will need to check the label for it), you can try adding some bleach.

Other options for removing stubborn tea stains include:

- You can squeeze a little vinegar mixture over the tea stain (a teaspoon of vinegar and a liter of water) and let it sit for ten minutes. Then dry with a cloth and wash normally. Then let it dry normally.

For cotton fabrics, add three parts of white vinegar and one part of water in a glass container to form a mixture. Add the stained fabric into it and leave it in the liquid to absorb. Rinse the tea stain gently before washing it thoroughly under cold water. If the tea stain still has not come off, take some salt in your palm and gently rub the stain and fabric with your fingers. Rinse well before machine washing normally.

You should avoid using normal liquid soap or bar soap because this may make it difficult to remove the tea stain.

-You should not use a dryer to dry the stained fabric. Heat can cause the tea stain to settle.

-You can use some chlorinated bleach for tea stains (for whites) or special bleach for colored ones.

Apply the detergent / vinegar mixture with little touches until the tea stain disappears. Clean with cold water and sponge before allowing it to dry normally.

Stain Removal Notes

- The earlier you start doing something about the stain, the higher your chances of removing the stain.

The most logical thing to do to remove stains other than oil stains is to rinse the area where the stain is located and prevent the stain from settling.

Before using a cleaning mixture, you should try this mixture in an invisible part and see if it harms the fabric.

Be sure to rinse the previous solution before using a new cleaning solution as some chemicals are not suitable to mix with each other.

Before using extraordinary cleaning techniques, you should read the warnings on the label of the fabric. Some fabrics are too delicate for stain removal processes and it would be better to leave them directly to dry cleaning.

- You should not be too hard on the fabric to remove the stain, this may cause the fibers to be damaged and the color to fade.

-White towel cleaning method is generally recommended for stain removal. Simply fold a white towel and apply some water to where the stain is, then you can touch the stained fabric lightly with the towel and check how much of the stain has gone to the towel.

-If you are using an industrial cleaning detergent or solution, always read the labels and use them according to the instructions to use them correctly and take some precautions if necessary.

It is always easier to interfere with the stain on a washable fabric.
