Whether you’re out to dinner with friends or hosting a party at home, dessert wine stains are unfortunately all too common. But don’t worry – getting rid of these stains is easier than you might think! Here’s how to tackle dessert wine stains on your merino wool garments:
If the stain is fresh, your first step should be to use a stain remover. Choose a product designed specifically for removing wine stains if possible, and be sure to follow the instructions carefully. This will make it easier to get the stain out before it has a chance to set in.
If the stain is already dry, you’ll need to use a bit of soap and water. Start by soaking the garment in warm water, using a mild detergent. Let the item soak for up to 15 minutes before gently rubbing the stain to help loosen it. Once the stain has been treated, rinse the item in cold water and then let it air-dry.
If the stain is still visible after trying the methods above, you may want to try using baking soda and white vinegar. Start by mixing equal parts of both ingredients and applying it to the stain. Let it sit for several minutes, then blot the area with a damp cloth. Rinse the garment with cold water afterward and let it air-dry.
If all else fails, it may be time to call in the professionals. Many dry cleaners specialize in stain removal, so they may be able to help you get the stain out of your garment. Be aware, however, that many dry cleaners are not able to guarantee that the stain will be entirely removed.
Spilled dessert wine doesn’t have to spell disaster for your favorite outfit. With right tools and techniques, you can easily remove those stubborn stains from your merino wool garments. So the next time your glass of dessert wine threatens to create a mess, don’t panic – just use the tips above and you’ll have the stain gone in no time!
