How to Remove a Tea Stain on a Chenille Spread

Chenille is very soft to the skin but the tufted, fuzzy nature of this fabric means that stains such as tea stains may cling to each delicate fiber. If you treat a tea stain on chenille quickly, it will be much easier to clean. If the stain has been sitting for a while, it will be more difficult to remove and may require some soaking and extra effort. In either case, however, you can remove a tea stain from a chenille spread.
