Accidentally spill red wine on your yoga pants? No worries, because there are simple yet effective ways to get that pesky stain out of your favorite trousers!

Accidents happen and if you’ve just experienced a minor red wine disaster on your yoga pants, then this is how you can get it cleaned up:

1. Spot Treat the Stain

If the stain is fresh, then immediately spot treat it using paper towel or cloth. Start by blotting the area using moderate pressure. Do not rub or scrub the wine stain as doing so would end up spreading it further. Keep blotting until no more liquid could be absorbed.

2. Soak in White Wine

Now that you’ve blotted up most of the liquid from the red wine, soak the stained area in white wine for about 15 minutes. This will help to break down the red wine stain and make it easier to remove.

3. Rinse with Cold Water

After soaking the area in white wine, thoroughly rinse it off with cold water.

4. Use 1/2 Cup of Bleach

Soak your yoga pants in a basin filled with 1/2 cup of bleach and warm water, and leave it for an hour. Afterwards, rinse off the stain with cold water again.

5. Air Dry

To make sure the stain has been removed, hang your yoga pants outside and let them air dry. Only put on your freshly-cleaned yoga pants after they are completely dry.
