How do you get coffee out of a car seat?

I spilled my cup of coffee all over my cloth seats this morning. I was running late, so there wasn't anything I could do about the stain when it happened. Can I do anything to get it out now?

“While delicious, coffee is one of the worst offenders for stains. But you’re in luck! Since it’s such a popular drink, there are a ton of methods available to help remove coffee stains.
A tried and true method is a mix of vinegar and water. Vinegar is a great natural, all-purpose stain remover and may help with an old or dried coffee stain.
To use it:
  • Mix a cup of white vinegar into a gallon of water or a similar ratio for a smaller quantity.
  • Add a small squirt of dish soap and apply it to the coffee stain.
  • Work the solution into the car seat stain with a stiff-bristled brush.
  • Allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes.
You can also try adding baking soda to the mixture for more scrubbing and stain-removal power. You always have the option to purchase an automotive stain cleaner as well.
Apart from cleaning your car, consider cleaning up your
car insurance
policy as well. Frequently reviewing your car insurance can help save you money and ensure your vehicle has the proper protection.
