Default Coffee Stain removal

Ack! Went out of town with my boss on a trip. I agreed to drive to airport. When I got back in my car the next morning, I noticed that he had spilled his thing of coffee all over the floor boards on the passanger side. The coffee stain resisted my best efforts to shampoo it out. Any suggestions?

Default whatever you do, 3M scotchguard when you are done

careful not to brush the area too hard, your carpet will nap.

Default He didn't say anything about it? Kick him in the *** and then...

clean it the best you can with the regular array of products.

The last time I had the carpet cleaned in my house, I gave the guy $10 and he did my entire Tahoe, or if you clean your own carpets, steam it then.

Good luck, Adam

Default Have a detail shop clean it and send his butt the bill as part of your "travel reimbursement"....

Seriously I have had good results with "Resolve" when I have been clumsy. I have also used "Shout" and it removed a stubborn stain.

As usual test any of these products in an inconspicuous place to make sure they don't make it worse.

Default No problem........

My lazy a$$ let a coffee stain sit for well over a month, thinking it was ruined after the first 2 days. So I though I would try good ol resolve, and wow it lifted the stain no problem!!
