Pro tip

If the coffee had milk or creamer in it, an enzyme-based cleaner breaks down the protein component that plain soap may leave behind.

Always check the garment's care label and test any solution on a hidden area first. StainsGone provides general household guidance, not professional textile or restoration advice.
