We've all experienced it: a sudden bump on the commute along Antero Soriano Hwy, a misplaced elbow at breakfast, and suddenly your crisp white office shirt is saturated with hot coffee.
At Scrubly, we approach tannin stains scientifically. The key to successful extraction is tackling the stain before it oxidizes and sets. We utilize gentle active enzyme builders that separate the coffee pigment from premium cotton and linen threads without causing uncorrectable yellowing.
In this guide, we break down our proprietary multi-step process for extracting coffee catastrophes, ensuring the fabric is returned with zero color bleeding.
Pro Launderer's Extraction Steps
Follow these strict guidelines developed in our Tanza Cavite wash-care labs:
Blot, Never Rub Rubbing presses coffee molecules into the backing of fabric and causes premature pilling.
Flush with cold water Hold the garment inside out under cold water to flush the coffee out through the surface it entered.
Apply mild enzyme detergents Safe agents break down coffee brown pigments while preserving fiber texture.
Avoid direct high heat Never iron or steam a stained shirt until you are certain the stain has been completely lifted.
