Red wine spills can be a real nightmare for chambray fabric, as the dyes derived from it can easily saturate fabric. But fear not - there are some easy strategies you can use to minimise or even completely eliminate the stain.

Step 1: Blot the Stain Quickly

As soon as a red wine spill occurs, take immediate action to prevent it from seeping further into the fabric. Blotting it with a soft, absorbent cloth or paper towel is the best way to minimise the damage. Start by pressing cloth firmly against the stained area and then gently work it outwards to prevent the stain from spreading. Repeat until the majority of liquid is removed.

Step 2: Apply Detergent and Water Solution

Mix up a solution of laundry detergent and water and dip a clean cloth into it. Gently dab the stained area repeatedly until the stain starts to fade away. If the stain persists, try reapplying the solution and blotting area with an old toothbrush. This should help to loosen any stubborn particles that may have adhered to the fabric.

Step 3: Rinse the Fabric Thoroughly

Once you've applied detergent solution, make sure to rinse the fabric thoroughly in cool water to remove any lingering chemicals. Use a new, clean cloth to dry the area as much as possible, again by pressing gently from the centre of the stain outwards.

Step 4: Apply a Stain Remover Spray

If the stain has still not been removed, it may be necessary to use a specific fabric stain remover. Spray some on the stained area, rub it in with a clean cloth, and then let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it with cool water. Repeat this process as needed until the stain is gone.

Conclusion

By following these easy steps, you'll be able to restore the look of your chambray fabric in no time! Make sure to pay extra attention to the stain right away and soon you'll have clean, red wine-free fabric.
