I just spilled a few drops of coffee on my pants. ARGH! (I guess it is better than the whole cup.)

 The usual solution is to quickly get them into the wash before the stain sets. In some cases, that is not possible so I try to rub some soap on the stain and hope it will keep it from setting until wash day. Now I have a better solution …

I still use the soap method but now I “rub it in” to the stain using one of those inexpensive ($5) electric toothbrushes. I have had a good Braun unit for years and licked up a Crest SpinBrush at the grocery store to compare. I prefer my Braun - which left the SpinBrush in the vanity drawer. Then I had the idea to use it as a spot remover. Bingo ! I wet it and add a little laundry soap. It works great and it is gentle on the fabric (my old clothes never had it so good).
