One of the littlest girls at a tea party spilled her tea and didn't tell anyone....
It's currently in a oxyclean soak. Orvus is next. Sunlight?

Maybe diluted lemon juice ----
I'll add it to the list! C
Handy information at
I've had luck with lemon juice and baking soda removing tea or coffee stains from my white counter tops. But I'm not sure how the acid in the lemon juice would affect older cloth. Maybe if you rinsed it throughly afterwards?
I think sunlight is an excellent idea, especially if it's a white table cloth.

I'd say 95% of the stain is gone. It's getting run through the machine and then it heads outside tomorrow.

Did the Oxyclean do it, or did you have to use Orvus as well?
Oxy and a little Fels Naptha. My hands are SO dry now... C
Thanks - filed for future use Cheryl
