Did you not get enough sleep and drop your coffee this morning? Perhaps your child or dog knocked your coffee over.
I know this has happened to me before.
If you’ve spilled some coffee and are worrying about a stain this post will guide you on how to minimize and remove the stain.
The good news is that the stain should come out!
First things first: soak up as much coffee as possible

Attempt to soak up as much coffee as possible.
You can press the towel or whatever you are using firmly on the stain. The longer you press and hold the more of the coffee that was spilled will come up.

Dilute the stain with water second 
The second thing you should do is dilute the stain with water as much as possible. This will prevent any part of the stain that you cannot soak up to be minimal.

If you can remove your shirt or place the item that is stained in the wash at this point that is the best thing you can do right now to prevent it from staining.
