Stain Solver Cleaning Tips

Big things are ahead for Stain Solver in 2026, and we’re excited to share an update with our loyal customers. In early January, Josh, Luke, and Matt officially purchased Stain Solver, and we’re moving quickly to get the online store back up and running so we can start fulfilling orders again. We expect the store to be live before the end of February 2026 if everything falls into place as expected, and we can’t wait to see your next round of before-and-after photos. We’re still early in the process (we don’t even have an official email address set up yet), but we’re working nights and weekends to get everything moving again the right way.   The 1995 story continues... Stain Solver was originally brought to market in 1995 by a syndicated newspaper columnist, Mr. Carter, known for "Ask The Builder." He developed the product after discovering the effectiveness of oxygen bleach while researching ways to clean wooden decks. The Negen family purchased Stain Solver from Mr. and Mrs. Carter in 2022, running it successfully for several years. Josh Glikin and Luke Golueke used Stain Solver as customers for years. Like they did every six months or so, they came to the website to buy more and learned that the store was out of stock and the company was for sale. Quickly, Josh, Luke, and Luke's brother Matt formulated a plan to purchase the company in September 2025. In January of 2026, Stain Solver was purchased.  This is truly a story of keeping a great product alive by people who loved its effectiveness so much that they wanted to buy it! Thanks for your patience, support, and commitment to keeping your world clean and stain-free!

It may not be the most exciting job on your to-do list, but cleaning the siding on your house is important not only for looks but also to improve the lifespan of your home! Luckily, with Stain Solver you can turn this job from something you dread doing into a quick and easy process. Why You Need To Clean Your Vinyl Siding There are a few reasons why it's important to clean your vinyl siding on a regular basis. First, to keep things looking good! You're proud of your home and want to make sure that it looks as good as possible. Unsightly stains and grime on your siding can be a real bummer when you're entertaining outside or just driving home after a long day at work. More importantly, siding can grow all sorts of nasty stuff on it, like mold and mildew. These bacteria can make a home on vinyl siding's surface, leading to all sorts of problems. Regularly removing dirt and other contaminants can keep these stains from taking hold on the exterior of your home, making it a safer and more comfortable place for all. Finally, cleaning vinyl siding regularly is an important part of doing routine maintenance on your home. As the old saying goes, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," and this is very true when it comes to cleaning. Making sure that you're regularly cleaning your vinyl siding is a great way to prevent long-term damage or permanent stains. Stain Solver Makes It Easy Luckily, Stain Solver is the perfect environmentally-friendly option for vinyl siding cleaning. It's super effective on stains, mold, and mildew but safe to use around plants and other landscaping features. It's an oxygen bleach, which means that it uses a safe and effective chemical reaction to release oxygen from the Stain Solver powder, effortlessly lifting stains from your vinyl siding. It's very effective as a general-purpose cleaner as well! Stain Solver has lots of advantages over chlorine bleach, but the primary one is its safety. Chlorine bleach is a very harsh chemical that is only appropriate for use in very specialized and controlled settings. You should take great care when using it around your home and even more so when using it outdoors, as it can kill plants and wildlife, not to mention the damage it can do for your siding! For these reasons, we do NOT recommend using chlorine bleach as your cleaning solution for vinyl siding. How To Clean Siding Without a Pressure Washer You might be thinking that if you don't have a pressure washer, you're out of luck when it comes to cleaning your vinyl siding. Not so with Stain Solver! One of the biggest advantages of cleaning your vinyl siding with Stain Solver is that you don't need a pressure washer or any other abrasive materials to effectively and quickly clean your siding. You can use a pressure washer if you'd like, but it's not necessary. How To Use Stain Solver to Clean Your Vinyl Siding Stain Solver is the perfect way to make cleaing your vinyl siding easy and painless! Just see how Donald, a happy Stain Solver user used Stain Solver to clean a really dirty townhouse! and read the review he left! "I've been using Stain Solver for years, this example is a back of a townhouse that hadn't been cleaned in years. I mixed a gallon of water and 4 scoops of Stain Solver and a used a pole & brush." -Donald C.  Here's how you'd use Stain Solver to get results just like Donald's: Mix one cup Stain Solver with one gallon of hot water, and stir until completely dissolved. Use a pole and brush, or garden sprayer, to apply the Stain Solver solution to your vinyl siding. Let sit for an hour. Use a soft bristled brush to scrub off the solution. Rinse. Voila! You'll have siding that's in great shape and ready for your outdoor enjoyment.

It's the worst fear of homeowners everywhere... large mold colonies growing in their houses! Mold stains can be one of the most frightening stains to fix in your house, for all sorts of reasons. Not only can it damage the property, but it can also be hazardous to your family's health. In this Stain Solver Cleaning Tip, we're going to do a deep dive into what mold is, why it grows in your house, and how you can use Stain Solver as a safe and effective mold remover all over your home. How and Why Does Mold Grow? When you discover mold growing anywhere, one of the first things to do is to see if you can identify the source of the mold problem. This requires a little bit of understanding of how mold forms, and where it's most likely to grow. It all comes down to one main thing: moisture. Mold forms when spores, which are always present in the air, land on a surface that is moist and warm. The spores can then multiply and grow, leading to the formation of mold. Common sources of moisture in a home include leaks, flooding, high humidity, and condensation. Mold can grow on a variety of surfaces, including walls, ceilings, floors, and even furniture. How to Prevent Mold Growth in the First Place The best way to keep mold from growing in your home is to make sure that you're keeping the humidity levels of your house in check. The best ways to do this are by keeping your HVAC system well maintained, promptly fixing leaks that you find in your house, and doing your best to make sure that any mold growth is caught early. But if you've found some mold somewhere in your home (perhaps bathrooms with poor ventilation, laundry rooms, or other warm, moist environments) don't worry, Stain Solver is here to help you get rid of mold around your whole house! Different types of Mold and Mildew Mold and mildew are both types of fungi that thrive in damp environments. However, there are some differences between the two. Mold is usually fuzzy or slimy in texture and can come in a variety of colors, including black, green, and white. Mildew, on the other hand, is typically white or gray and has a powdery texture. While both can cause health issues, mold is typically more dangerous than mildew, especially black mold. Stachybotrys chartarum, also known as black mold, is considered one of the most dangerous types of mold. It produces mycotoxins that can cause severe health problems when inhaled, including respiratory issues, headaches, and fatigue. If you suspect that you have a substantial amount of black mold in your home, we recommend consulting a professional remediation service, so that they can remove it safely and entirely. Black mold removal and mold remediation is a job best left to the professionals! For less dangerous types of mold, or getting rid of mildew, Stain Solver is your mold removal solution! Mold Removal Safety Precautions Most of the jobs that you'll tackle with Stain Solver are just a little gross, but with mold removal, it can be more than that. It's especially important that you take proper safety measures when working to remove mold. Personal protective equipment, or PPE, is something that you should strongly consider when taking on moldy areas. Here's the PPE that we recommend: Rubber gloves. Safety glasses. A well-fitting mask. These things will help protect you from any mold spores that get released over the course of your cleaning project. How To Use Stain Solver to Solve Your Mold Stains Mold is one of Stain Solver's specialties! The chemical reaction that occurs when Stain Solver is mixed with water removes the mold from whatever surface it is clinging to, allowing you to go in and turn the mold prone area into a fresh and clean zone in your house. We're going to go over a few common mold removal projects, but first, we need to talk about how to mix and use Stain Solver most effectively. Before you Start your mold removal process, you should get all of your mold removal products together and ready to go. Here's what you'll need: Stain Solver Hot Water A Sponge or Scrub Brush (depending on what you're cleaning) A Spray Bottle PPE (as talked about above) Once you have everything together you can mix your Stain Solver solution. You can either mix it in a spray bottle, or in a bucket, just ensure that the powder is completely dissolved for best results! Check out our How-To page for specific mixing guidance, or you can just mix one cup of Stain Solver with one gallon of hot water. Once your solution has been mixed and your PPE is on, you're ready to attack your project of choice! We're covering five of the most common mold scenarios in this article, bust Stain Solver will work wherever mold appears in your home! How to Clean Mold in Bathrooms As you may have guessed, the Bathroom is one of the most common places where mold can grow. All of that moisture along with warm temperatures and limited ventilation makes this room the ideal place for moldy surfaces. Luckily, we have some guides to make sure you can get rid of all of the mold you might find in your bathroom. How to Get Rid of Mold from Plastic Shower Curtains and Liners Your shower curtain is one of the most common places to find mold in your house, especially if it doesn't dry completely. Luckily it's one of the easiest fabric items to get rid of mold on. There are two options. First, if there's only a small amount of mold, you can use your sprayer to apply the Stain Solver solution to the moldy curtain. Let this sit for a half hour to an hour, then scrub with a brush or sponge and rinse with warm water. You can let the affected area air dry. If mold has grown on a larger portion of the curtain, we recommend giving it a full soak. First, prepare a sink or bucket full of Stain Solver solution, then remove the curtain from your shower, and fully submerge it in the solution. Let it sit for an hour, and then rinse it off. All the mold will be gone! How To Remove Mold From Shower Tiles and Grout Often you'll find mold growing in the nooks and crannies of your bathroom, especially in places like shower tiles, grout, or around the bathroom door. Removing mold in these tough-to-reach spaces can be tricky, but with Stain Solver it'll be done in no time! Mix up your solution in a sprayer, and apply it to the affected area. Let it sit for an hour, then scrub with a stiff-bristled brush and rinse with water. You can also check out our article specifically on grout cleaning! Pro Tip: Check Your Bathroom Ceiling Fan! This is one place where mold can really build up in humid rooms, and maybe not the first place you'd check! Take a look at your bathroom ceiling fan to ensure that there is no dangerous mold hiding up there. If there is, use your sprayer with Stain Solver to attack the surface mold that's growing up there. If there is a lot of build-up you may want to take the fan out and scrub it off. How to Remove Mold from Walls and Ceilings Removing mold from the walls of your house is an easy job with Stain Solver, but there is a caveat here... if you're finding mold on the baseboards of your wall, you might have a bigger issue. Moisture stuck inside of your walls can cause mold to appear on the outside, which is bad enough, but it also can cause much more serious degradation of your wall framing. If you're having recurring issues with a moldy area in a place you don't expect it, you might want to consider calling in a professional to take a look. The same thing goes with ceilings, but even more so! If mold is affecting the structural integrity of your home, you might have bigger concerns than allergic reactions and runny noses. If it's only a little bit of mold and you want to take care of it yourself, grab that spray bottle and go to town! Use the same process as above: spray, let sit, scrub, and rinse. Removing Mold from Leather This is a project that we took on here when one of the back seats in the Stain Solver-Mobile (the trusty Negen Family 2006 Toyota Sienna) had grown some gross mold after not being used for a long time. Here's what it looked like before: Super gross, and a nasty shock when I unfolded them for the first time this spring. Luckily Stain Solver is a great mold remover, and took care of it with a minimum of fuss! Here's what I did: Filled a Sprayer with Stain Solver solution. Applied liberally to the moldy surfaces. Waited an hour. Used paper towels to wipe off the first layer of mold. Check out this photo of where I had wiped off versus where I hadn't: After I had wiped off the seat for the first time I needed to repeat the process to get the rest of the mold entirely gone. After another round of Stain Solver, the seat looked good as new! I rinsed off the seat to keep any residue from sticking to it, and it was like the mold was never even there! Here's the after photo: This process will work on leather of all sorts! Just make sure to test the Stain Solver on an inconspicuous spot first to ensure that no discoloration occurs. How to Get Rid Of Mold From Wood Oftentimes mold can grow on wood or other organic surfaces. To use Stain Solver on moldy wood we recommend applying the solution with a spraying bottle as outlined above, or for bigger jobs use a garden sprayer. Once the Stain Solver has done its work on the surface, rinse with plain water. We also recommend using mold-resistant paint for surfaces that are particularly mold prone. When is Mold Remediation the Answer? Sometimes a mold removal job is too big for you to take on on your own, no matter how good of a mold remover you have. This is when it's time to call in the pros and have someone perform professional mold remediation on your mold problem. The people who do this specialize in removing mold safely and effectively. Here are some examples of situations where mold remediation is a good idea: You find more than two square feet of mold, especially black mold, in your home. You find mold growing out of the base of a wall or from the ceiling. You think that mold might be growing inside of your walls. This is not an exhaustive list, but in general, if there's a lot of mold, someone in your home is particularly sensitive to it, or you think it's affecting something structural in your home, it's time to call in an expert and have it removed immediately. How to get rid of mold spores in the air While this isn't our area of expertise, and there's no way to entirely remove all mold spores from the air, using a HEPA filter can help trap spores and keep them out of your home's air. The best way to prevent mold spores from becoming a problem in your home is to make sure that you have adequate ventilation in humid and warm areas. Does Stain Solver Kill Mold? Technically, no, Stain Solver removes mold. Because Stain Solver isn't a toxic chemical like bleach, it won't kill the mold spores immediately. BUT it will remove them from where they're growing, which will cause them to die, and most importantly, not cause any more damage to your health or property. Final Thoughts Whew! That was a lot! As you can see, Stain Solver is excellent at removing mold all over your home. Best of all, it does this without releasing any toxic fumes or other harsh chemicals!

Summer is a time for enjoying the outdoors, and what better way to do that than by spending time on your patio? However, a dirty and unkempt patio can quickly put a damper on your summer fun. Not only is it unsightly, but it can also be a safety hazard, as algae and dirt can make your patio slippery and difficult to walk on. That's why it's crucial to keep your patio clean and well-maintained so that you can enjoy all that summer has to offer without any worries. If you haven't touched your patio since last summer, don't worry! In this blog post, we'll show you how to use Stain Solver to clean your patio effectively and efficiently, so you can get back to enjoying your summer in no time. And best of all, there's no need to use a power washer with this method! Let's dive in. Why Does Algae Grow on a Patio? You might notice dirt on your patio, and think this makes sense. It's an outdoor space and some dirt here and there is certainly to be expected. But you might also notice some green slime growing on your patio surface, and be a little bit alarmed! What is that stuff? Don't worry, it's just algae! Algae can grow on a patio due to a combination of moisture, shade, and sunlight. Patios that are located in areas with high humidity or rainfall are particularly susceptible to algae growth. Additionally, algae can thrive in shaded areas where the patio receives little direct sunlight. Luckily, Stain Solver makes getting rid of both dirt and algae a breeze. Tough stains will come right off, and your patio area will be ready for the warmer months ahead. A Stain Solver Sucess Story Before we go into the step-by-step process here, I want to share a story from a Stain Solver user who did this exact project and left us a 5-Star review! Here's what he said: "Saved a ton of time! I almost went and rented a powerwasher (which would have taken several hours of time and quite a bit of $$$), but instead used Stain Solver. The whole job took less than an hour and a half and only 6 cups of Stain Solver. Love this stuff!" -R.N. And just look at these before and after photos: Step-by-Step Cleaning Process Here's the step-by-step process that will get you a clean patio! It usually takes us a few hours to take on a project like this, so we recommend budgeting an afternoon or so to take care of this project, it's well worth it to end up with a delightful outdoor area! Step 1: Prepare The Patio In order to do a deep clean, we first need to prepare the space for the cleaning solution. Luckily all this means is removing anything on the patio and sweeping it of debris. So go ahead and move any outdoor furniture or plant pots that you might have outside. Next, take a stiff bristled broom and give the entire area a quick sweep, removing any loose debris, dead leaves, or obvious dirt. Step 2: Make Your Stain Solver Solution Next, you'll want to mix up your Stain Solver Solution. It's very important that you use hot or warm water for the cleaning solution! The hotter the water, the easier it will be for the Stain Solver to dissolve. Check out our How-To page for detailed mixing guidance, or just use one cup of Stain Solver for every gallon of hot water. Step 3: Apply The Stain Solver & Let Sit There are a couple of different ways to apply the solution, each with pros and cons. If you have a garden sprayer, we have found that to be the most effective at evenly and efficiently applying the solution. Make sure you cover the entire surface. However, if you don't have one of those, a watering can will work well, or you can simply pour the solution onto the patio slabs! Grab an iced tea, beer, or your beverage of choice, and relax for about an hour while the Stain Solver does its work. Step 4: Scrub and Rinse After you've let the Stain Solver sit solution sit for a while, it's time to take a stiff broom and use it to scrub the patio slabs, and especially the mortar in between the slabs. Make sure to scrub off all of the affected areas. You'll see all of the algae and stubborn dirt start easily coming off! Once you've put a little bit of elbow grease into your patio cleaning project, it's time to rinse off the Stain Solver solution. Just take a garden hose and spray off the entire patio area with cold water. Step 5: Enjoy! That's all! This easy process is why Stain Solver is such a good patio cleaner. All that's left for you to do is enjoy your outdoor space and clean patio slabs all through the summer! Some Tips and Tricks: Here are a few things that we've picked up from our experience with patio cleaning. It's best if you do this project on a day that's cool or overcast day. This will keep the Stain Solver from evaporating and will give it more time to do its work. If you have particularly stubborn stains, you may have to reapply the Stain Solver solution twice to see the most cleaning power. If you're concerned about discoloring your paving slabs, try a small amount of Stain Solver on an inconspicuous area first. Pressure Washing Method While a pressure washer is definitely NOT necessary for success on this project, one can make it a little bit easier. While we don't recommend using a pressure washer to apply the Stain Solver (as mentioned above, a garden sprayer is our choice), it can be useful for rinsing off the patio at the end of the project. All this means is that you'll have to do a bit less scrubbing. How to clean patio stone slabs made of natural stone? This method works well on all kinds of patio surfaces, from a concrete patio to one that's made of brick or natural stone!

Here are some ways to keep algae from growing on your patio: Regularly sweep and rinse your patio to remove any dirt or debris that can feed algae growth. Use a leaf blower to remove fallen leaves, which can trap moisture and create a breeding ground for algae. Apply a patio sealer to create an extra layer of protection against algae growth. By following these tips, you can help prevent algae from taking over your patio and keep it looking clean and inviting all summer long. Will Stain Solver damage my landscaping? No!

If there was one room in your house that takes up an outsize portion of your cleaning energy, it’s probably the bathroom. For a room that’s dedicated to keeping you clean, it can sure get dirty! One common (and unsightly) issue that can arise in a bathroom is toilet stains, especially yellow toilet bowl stains. These pesky stains can resist the efforts of traditional toilet bowl cleaners, and leave you scratching your head while you try to keep your toilet clean. Luckily, Stain Solver has you covered. We’ll go through the causes of these yellow stains, and how you can use Stain Solver to easily remove them. Let’s get started! What causes yellow stains in toilet bowl? There are a few things that might cause a yellow stain on your toilet bowl, but it’s actually very unlikely that urine is one of them. Urine Stains might cause issues on clothing or other fabrics, but they’re unilkely to get left behind on your toilet, despite how similar in color they are to the stubborn stains that you may be seeing on your toilet bowl. The yellow staining that you’re noticing is likely something else! In fact, one of the most common causes of yellow stains in a toilet bowl is hard water. Hard water contains high concentrations of minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which can accumulate in pipes and fixtures over time. When these minerals are present in the water, they can leave a yellowish residue behind on the surface of the toilet bowl. Another cause of yellow stains is iron deposits, which can occur naturally in well water or because of corrosive metals or plumbing materials that have begun to break down over time. When these deposits accumulate, they can leave behind a yellow hue on the surface of the toilet bowl. In some cases, this hue may be a sign that bacteria are growing inside your pipes as well. Finally, yellow stains in toilets may be caused by mold and mildew accumulation beneath the rim or underneath the surface around seals and joints due to moisture build-up from frequent flushing. The growth of mold and mildew can contribute to an accumulation of yellow film on your toilets surfaces. Okay, now that we know why these yellow stains occur, we can figure out how to get rid of them! How To Remove Yellow Stains From your Toilet Bowl Luckily, with Stain Solver it’s not very difficult to remove yellow stains from your toilet bowl. All it takes is a little bit of patience, and a very nominal amount of elbow grease. Follow these steps and you’ll have a clean toilet bowl in no time! All you need is some Stain Solver and a toilet brush. Here’s what a toilet bowl in our basement looked like previously: Not a pleasant sight! These hard water stains were well stuck on there, and our normal cleaning routine didn’t get rid of them. Step-By-Step Process To Remove Toilet Bowl Stains Here’s the cleaning method we used to remove the stubborn toilet bowl stains. Fill the Entire Toilet Bowl with Stain Solver Powder We used around a cup of Stain Solver and found that it yielded excellent results, but you could use more if you felt so inclined. Once you see the bubbles forming in the toilet water, you know that the chemical reaction has been initiated, and that Stain Solver is working to clean the stained areas! Be Patient! Now you simply have to hang tight and let the Stain Solver do its work. We let the solution sit for three hours, but leaving it up to six hours will further reduce the effort you have to expend to remove the yellow stain. Use a Scrub Brush to Finish The Job Once the Stain Solver has had a chance to loose all of the hard water stains and other ickiness on the toilet bowl, you just have to give it the final push it needs to make the stains disappear.   A quick scrub with a stiff bristled toilet brush should remove all of the stains, and get your toilet back to tip top shape. Here’s what our toilet looked like after all the stains were gone: To remove the stains from the toilet rim we would use a spray bottle to apply the Stain Solver solution to that part of the toilet. Other Considerations For Cleaning Toilet Bowls We’ve found that this is the best way to remove yellow stains from toilet bowls, but there are still some things to be aware of. First, if you have brown or red stains in your toilet bowl, they’re likely the result of rust stains, which is not something that Stain Solver is good at getting rid of. In this case we recommend muriatic acid. But this is a MUCH more dangerous chemical than Stain Solver is, and it’s critical to use PPE like rubber gloves when dealing with that sort of cleaning product. If you’re regularly seeing this sort of staining it could mean that you have very hard water, or even pipe corrosion. If this is the case, we recommend talking to a qualified plumber to see if they can help you get your plumbing fixtures up to snuff. Finally, regularly cleaning your toilet properly is the best way to avoid this kind of buildup, so make using Stain Solver on your bathroom surfaces a regular part of your routine. Final Thoughts Stain Solver is an excellent toilet bowl cleaner, and can be use to whiten surfaces all over your bathroom, and elsewhere in your home as well.

Luckily, Stain Solver is the best coffee stain remover we’ve ever used, and today we’re going to use it to clean another frequently stained coffee accessory, your stainless steel coffee pot. Note: If you’re like us and and sometimes spill some coffee on yourself… see our article on getting coffee stains out of clothes! A Stainless Steel carafe can make a big difference in your morning routine, keeping your coffee warm for hours while looking great on your counter, but the inside of it can get kind of gross with coffee residue over time. Stain Solver is the perfect solution to get rid of stubborn coffee stains in your stainless steel coffee pot, and in this article you’ll learn exactly how to use it to remove these stains and get your coffee pot looking as good as new. If you’re a visual person, we have a great video showing you the step by step process of how to clean coffee pot stains from your coffee pot. If you’d rather read about how to get rid of the stains on your stainless steet coffee pots, keep going! Why Do Stainless Steel Pots Get Stained By Coffee? The term “stainless” might be slightly misleading when it comes to coffee stains. This material is great at repelling rust and other sorts of stains, but it can’t keep coffee from depositing on the surface, especially on the inside of the coffee pot when it’s not getting thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis. But what’s getting stuck on the inside of your coffee pot? It’s a chemical compound called tannins. Tannins are the compounds in coffee that give it its dark color, which is beautiful to look at in a mug, but not so nice to look at after they’ve hardened at the bottom of your coffee pot! These kinds of compounds are present in notorious stainers like red wine, which Stain Solver also happens to be excellent at cleaning! These tannins, along with the lipids (or fats) in coffee are what causes the coffee stains to be so persistent. Step-By-Step Instructions on How To Clean a Coffee Pot If you thought that it was going to take a lot of scrubbing and effort to clean your coffee pot, you can take a deep breath! This method requires no scrubbing at all, and just a little bit of patience Here’s how you do it: Fill up the dirty pot with hot water. It’s important that the water is hot because this enables the Stain Solver powder to dissolve. Add 1 Tablespoon of Stain Solver powder to the coffee pot, and stir or shake until it’s completely dissolved. Let sit for several hours, we have found that leaving it overnight is usually a good option. Rinse, and be amazed! It really is that simple! You can also use this same technique to clean a tea kettle, stainless steel coffee mugs, or any other stained dishware you might have. Why Is Stain Solver So Good at Removing Coffee Stains? You might be wondering why Stain Solver is such an effective stain remover, and we don't blame you! Luckily there is no hocus pocus, and no magic in what makes our product so effective, just science! It all comes down to the use of our active ingredient, sodium percarbonate. The Power of Peroxide When you mix Stain Solver powder with water, a safe and natural chemical reaction occurs, leading the percarbonate to become hydrogen peroxide, yep, the same hydrogen peroxide as you probably have in your medicine cabinet right now! When that peroxide is created, the oxygen bubbles are what lifts the stains from the clothing, allowing you to safely and effectively remove coffee stains. Final Thoughts on Cleaning Stainless Steel Coffee Pots There you have it! Getting your stainless steel coffee pot to be looking as good as new doesn’t have to be a chore. With Stain Solver you can make your coffee pots look good as new in no time.
