Coffee spills are a universal nuisance, especially when they happen on-the-go, leaving an unsightly stain on your favorite outfit. But fear not, coffee lovers and fashion enthusiasts! A fourth-generation dry cleaner, Zachary Pozniak, has shared a brilliant hack that promises to save your clothes from the dreaded coffee blotch. This trick, which also works wonders on wine and tea stains, has been making waves on social media, and we at the Seniors Discount Club are excited to share it with you.

Zachary Pozniak, who has cleaning in his blood, took to TikTok to reveal his simple yet effective method for tackling coffee stains while you're out and about. The beauty of this technique is that it can be done while you're still wearing the garment, so there's no need to rush home or endure the embarrassment of a stained shirt or blouse.


Here's what you'll need to perform this stain-removing magic: two towels, napkins, or paper towels, a drop or two of dish soap, and a little water. The process is straightforward and can be a real game-changer when you're in a pinch.


Firstly, place one of the towels or napkins behind the stain to protect the other side of the fabric. Then, mix a bit of water with a couple of drops of dish soap on the other towel or napkin. Gently dab the stained area with the soapy solution—remember, it's crucial to dab, not rub, using up and down motions. Rubbing can spread the stain and even damage the fabric.


Pozniak demonstrated the effectiveness of this method on his own shirt, showing that while you might have to tolerate a wet spot for about 30 to 60 minutes, it's a small price to pay for a stain-free garment for the rest of the day. In his example, the wet patch dried in just 23 minutes, and the coffee stain was nowhere to be seen.

This quick fix has resonated with many who know the frustration of wearing a coffee stain all day. One of Pozniak's followers humorously commented, 'I may finally be able to drink my coffee with a shirt on now before leaving the house.'

Beyond this coffee stain hack, Pozniak's TikTok page is a treasure trove of cleaning tips and solutions for various laundry woes. From cleaning white sneakers to removing yellow sweat stains from shirts and even insights into the wrinkle-removing secrets of dry cleaners, his advice has become so sought after that he's penned a book titled 'The Laundry Book,' set to release in October.
