Using a dry, soft cloth, pat the excess wine off the surface. Be sure not to rub it, as this will only push the stain further into canvas or fabric.
Using cold water, rinse the affected area of the shoe until the water runs clear. This will help to remove any residual residue.
Once you have rinsed wine stain, pour club soda onto a soft cloth and gently rub over the area. This will help to pull the stain out of the fabric.
If the stain is still present, you may need to use a stronger agent. Try soaking the stain with either white vinegar or baking soda, and then letting it sit for 15 minutes before blotting up with a cloth. Or, try creating a paste by mixing baking soda and water, and rubbing it directly onto the stain for 10 minutes before rinsing with cold water.
Once you've treated the stain, rinse affected area with cold water again, and then let the shoe air dry. Be sure that shoe is drying in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight.
By following these easy steps, you can easily remove a red wine stain from your favorite pair of Keds. Just be sure to use cold water, club soda, and white vinegar or baking soda, and follow the instructions carefully.
