To remove the coffee stains mix a solution of one teaspoon of a neutral, mild detergent that has no bleaches in it with one cup of warm water.
Blot this onto the stained area with a terry cloth.
Use another solution made up of one third of a cup of white vinegar with two thirds of a cup of water and blot onto the stain.
