NEED ADVICE:
Customer spilled a cup of coffee on a off-white wool carpet (custom palace size VERY expensive) & I cleaned it with the usual safe products. Big improvement but still visible. They'd like to have me try some more - - they're happy to pay but I only want to go back if I bring something else to try. Been doing this 35 years & I'm somewhat knowledgeable but hey - educate me...what can I try that's safe??

Tannin style coffee stain remover or brown out. Apply with a coarse spray, let dwell 5-10 minutes. Rinse with a neutral or slightly acidic rinse agent. You can re-apply the tannin remover lightly and leave it to evaporate.

May have been decaffeinated. They add artificial dyes. May need a stronger reducer.
