The unexpected bathroom staple that removes coffee stains from your mattress with ease

We know we shouldn’t do it, but many of us can’t help ourselves.

Having a coffee in bed is a great way to start the day but it’s less fun when you knock over your drink and leave an unpleasant stain on your nice, soft mattress.

Now one social media sensation has come to the rescue with a new cleaning trick to get those stubborn coffee stains out of any fabric surface with a product most of us have in our bathroom vanity.

Debbie from @alifebetterorganized has shown how she removed the annoying stain from her pristine mattress using nothing more than a bit of elbow grease and shaving cream.

In a video she uploaded to Tiktok, Debbie begins by asking, “does shaving cream really work to remove stains?”

“Let’s try it out on my mattress.”

The cleaning wiz coats her coffee-stained mattress with a generous coating of white, puffy shaving cream.

Then she shows how to “smoosh” the foam in with her hands and a brush then says to leave the foam for a few hours to marinate.

After two hours, wipe away the foam with a wet cloth.

“So much better but let it (the mattress) dry completely,” she explains.

Many on social media were impressed with the results and wanted to know where else they could use this trick.

“Wow!” one commented.

“Does it work for sweat stains?” one asked.

“Can I do this on a stain on my carpet?” another requested.

“Then this should work on white shoes,” one person pointed out.

Meanwhile, another social media star closer to home is showing the public how to bring their white clothes back to their brightest best.

Aussie home hack expert Chantel Mila Ibbotson has taken social media by storm recently, unveiling her sure-fire methods for brighter whites.

Ibbotson, renowned for her savvy household solutions, recently shared her DIY secret in a TikTok video for restoring white clothes to their former glory.

“Say goodbye to dingy whites,” she captioned the video, tantalising viewers with the promise of brightened garments.

Her method involves a simple yet powerful concoction: warm water, a quarter cup of hydrogen peroxide, one cup of baking soda and an optional teaspoon of dish soap. By soaking clothes in this potent mix and washing as usual, Ibbotson assures followers of stain-lifting prowess and brighter whites.
