If I was a towel stained with a lot of coffee in the washing machine, will that stain my other clothes ?

Question

I have a towel stained with coffee.. pretty large and substantial. If I wash it in the same washing machine and wash other clothes, will the coffee from the towel stain the other clothes in the same load since it will essentially mix in the water or will the soap stop that from happening?

Answer 1

what color is the towel?  if white, add some bleach or peroxide to wash with other whites and warm not hot water.

Answer 2

Do not wash it with other clothes.

Wash it separately or just toss the towel out.

It will bleed to other articles of clothing.

Answer 3

Boil some water and pour it through the towel, the coffee stain will be lifted.
