Scalding coffee can be a memorable experience for anyone.
Besides the possibility of a painful scar if it comes in contact with human skin, the resulting stain is simply one that needs to be removed.
The most important step before removing stains and spots off surfaces is to identify the stain correctly and to use the right stain-removing technique for the corresponding surface material.
How do you clean coffee stains off surfaces?For example, surfaces such as acrylic, aluminum, vinyl clothing, vinyl tile, zinc, pewter, Plexiglas, ceramic, bronze, brass, glass tile, copper, grout, tin, asphalt or acrylic plastic.

• First, take the time to blot up any excess from the stain.
  
• Next, wipe the surface with a cloth or sponge dipped in warm sudsy water.
  
• The water temperature is important; make sure it is "warm.
  "
• Then rinse well and wipe dry.
  
• Repeat if necessary and be patient, it works.
  

What if the surface is marble? Stained marble can be a cause for great concern, particularly if the marble represents a major investment.
To remove coffee stains off marble, do the following:

• Spend a few minutes blotting up any excess from the stain.
  This is always a very good thing to do.
  
• Then, go ahead and wipe the surface with a cloth dipped in a solution of sodium carbonate ("washing soda") or detergent and water.
  
• Remember, "dipped" not "soaked.
  "
• Next, rinse well and wipe dry.
  
• Repeat if necessary.
  If dissatisfied with results, try this as an additional cleaning method,
• Mix a few drops of ammonia with one cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide.
  Try not to use a stronger ingredient if you can.
  
• Find a clean white towel that you can use as a white blotter.
  
• Soak this white blotter with the solution and place it right over the stain.
  
• Next, cover the stain with a piece of glass or other heavy object.
  
• Make sure such object does not have stains or debris because you would then transfer this 'dirt" onto the surface you are trying to clean.
  
• Continue applying the solution.
  What happens is you are drawing out the oil from the stain on the surface.
  
• Any remaining stain is essentially bleached out and you should see success in your efforts.
  

What about stone surfaces? Okay.
Let's say the stone surfaces include brick, granite, limestone, masonry tile, sandstone, slate or terrazzo.

• Go ahead and mix a solution of sodium carbonate ("washing soda") or a detergent in cold or cool water.
  
• Find a soft and gentle brush and brush the stain away.
  Do not press or brush too hard.
  This could make the stain worse.
  
• This is one of those times when "easy does it" works well.
  
• Wash with clear, cool water and allow to dry.
  
• Repeat if necessary but if done right the first time, you should not have to put the extra effort.
