How to remove tea stains

Mornings are tough but a good brew makes waking up, bright and early, that much easier. However, slips and spills can happen when you put your shirt, pants or sofa in the splash zone.  It doesn’t matter if it’s rich black tea, smooth green tea or a sweet fruity tea, they can leave a stubborn stain if they’re not treated properly. Thankfully with our range of Resolve® products, there’s something to treat every type of tea stain. 

 

For tea stains on clothes, pre-treat the garments using Resolve Oxi-Action® Trigger then wash just like a regular load of laundry. This will allow our amazing Oxi-Action formula to work its magic on those typically tough-to-treat stains. For spills on carpets, use our powerful Resolve® Carpet Stain Remover Trigger to easily remove stains for good.

How to remove tea stains from coloured clothes

To remove tea stains from coloured clothes, try to treat the item right away, rather than letting it dry. Take a clean, damp paper towel or dishcloth and dab the stain until you have removed as much as possible. Make sure you dab — rubbing will only allow the stain to spread. Then, just use Resolve Oxi-Action® Trigger in these simple steps:

 

Step 1

Spray the product directly onto the stain, covering it completely

Step 2

Leave the solution to work for 5 minutes maximum

Step 3

Wash according to the care level instructions in the warmest water recommended 

 

Important:

Before using Resolve®, you should always follow the usage instructions on the packaging and follow its care advice. 

How to remove tea stains from white clothes

To remove tea stains from white clothes, you can treat them the same way you’d tackle coloured clothes. If you can, don’t let the stain dry – and carefully blot with a clean paper towel to remove as much tea as possible. Then use Resolve Oxi-Action® Trigger with these easy instructions:

 

Step 1

Spray the product directly onto the stain, covering it completely

Step 2

Leave the solution to work for 5 minutes maximum

Step 3

Wash according to the care level instructions in the warmest water recommended 

 

Important:

While Resolve® can be used to remove tea stains from t-shirts, jeans and other items , you should always follow the usage instructions on the Resolve® packaging. Do not use on finished or coated surfaces – for example wood, metals etc.
