When it comes to getting a stain out of a blazer or other article of clothing, the earlier you act, the better. If you’ve just spilled sparkling wine on your blazer at a party, don’t wait for it to dry before starting the removal process.

Step 1: Blot the Stain With a Clean Towel

Use a clean, white towel to blot the sparkling wine from the fabric. This will help to lift some of the liquid out of the fibers.

Step 2: Pre-Treat With Seltzer Water

If possible, pre-treat stain with seltzer water before continueing. This helps to break down the stain and make it easier to remove.

Step 3: Apply Liquid Detergent

Once the stain is pre-treated and blotted, apply a few drops of liquid detergent directly to the stain. Rub it into the fibers with your fingers or a soft brush for a few minutes, then allow it to sit for about 10 minutes.

Step 4: Rinse With Cold Water

Rinse the stain with cold water, using your fingers or a soft brush to ensure detergent is removed from the fabric.

Step 5: Launder as Usual

Finally, launder the blazer as usual. Allow it to air dry, and inspect the area afterward. If the stain is still visible, repeat Steps 1-4.
