Dessert wines such as port or sherry can leave an indelible mark on fabrics. To save your anoraks from being stained, here’s what you need to do.
Instructions
- Act fast. The longer you delay, the tougher it will be for you to get rid of the stain. Blot spill with a paper towel and dab the fabric gently to absorb the liquid.
- If any residue remains, mix one teaspoon of white vinegar with one teaspoon of water and pour it directly over the stain. Let it sit for a couple minutes.
- Soak a clean cloth in lukewarm water and wring it out. Use the damp cloth to rub the stained spot.
- Finish off with a stain remover liquid. Apply it directly to the affected area and use a clean cloth to rub it in.
- Rinse the garment with cold water until the suds are gone. Place garment in a standard washing machine with the rest of your laundry wash.
- Hang the anorak up to dry. Do not put it in dryer.
Tips
- Be sure to test the stain remover solution on a hidden part of the garment before using it.
- Wash garment as normal after treating the stain.
- To prevent the stain from spreading further, use a dry cloth to blot it.
Warnings
- Avoid using hot or warm water while treating the stain as this may cause the stain to set in permanently.
- Never put an anorak in dryer—it is best to let it air dry.
