Will the stain come out if I let the dress air dry?

No, air drying will not remove the stain – you will need to follow the steps outlined above to remove the stain.

Can I use warm water instead of cold water?

No, only cold water should be used when rinsing the dress. Warm or hot water can set the stain in the fabric and make it even more difficult to remove.

Sparkling wine stains can be tricky to remove from a delicate material such as an Aline dress. Fortunately, it's not impossible to get stains out - you just need to know the right steps. Here are the tips on how to clean your dress so it looks good as new.

Removing Fresh Sparkling Wine Stains

If you manage to catch the stain while it is still fresh, that's the best-case scenario. Here are the steps you should take:

First, blot up as much of the spilled liquid as possible. Use a paper towel or cloth and dab at the stain (do not rub!).
Once surface liquid has been blotted up, apply a small amount of lukewarm water to the stain and gently work into material.
Then, add some white vinegar to the area and let it sit for about a minute.
Rinse the fabric with cold water and repeat if necessary.
Finally, use a clean cloth and some mild detergent to rinse the area one more time and let the dress air dry.

Removing Set-In Sparkling Wine Stains

If you didn't catch the stain while it was fresh, removing the stain can be a bit more difficult. Here's what you'll need to do:

First, scrape off any excess liquid with a spoon or dull knife.
Apply a spot of pretreatment cleanser to the area.
Let the cleanser sit for a few minutes before scrubbing gently with a soft brush.
Then, put a small amount of lukewarm water and a small amount of mild detergent onto the stain and gently work the solution into the fabric.
Finally, rinse the entire dress in cold water and air dry.
