Sparkling wine stains, especially when allowed to set in, can be difficult to remove. Without proper knowledge and materials, you may have to give up on ever removing all traces of the stain, leaving you with a permanent mark on your boots. Fortunately, if you take the time to follow the steps below, you'll be able to quickly and easily remove even the toughest of sparkling wine stains.
Before getting started, it's important to gather the right materials. You'll need white vinegar, a soft cloth, a soft-bristled brush, and a clean pair of rubber gloves. For stubborn stains, you may also need a stain remover designed specifically for leather.
First, use the soft cloth or a paper towel to blot stain, gently working from the outside edge inward. This will help to remove any excess liquid and to prevent it from spreading. Depending on the severity of stain, you may have to work with more than one cloth.
Next, mix white vinegar and water in equal amounts in a bowl. Dip a soft cloth into the mixture and gently apply it to stained area in a circular motion for about 15 seconds. The vinegar helps to break down the stain and make it easier to remove.
Once the vinegar solution has been applied, use the soft-bristled brush to scrub the stained area. Use a gentle, circular motion. Do not press too hard, as this could cause damage to the leather. After you have finished scrubbing, use a clean cloth to blot the area to remove any remaining liquid.
If the stain is still visible, you may need to use a specialized leather stain remover. Following the instructions on the package, apply the stain remover to the affected area. Allow it to sit for the recommended amount of time and then blot the area with a clean cloth.
Finally, condition the leather with a leather conditioner designed specifically for boots. This will help to keep the leather in good condition and to prevent future stains.
Sparkling wine stains on boots can be tricky to remove, but with the right tools and techniques, the task is achievable. By following the steps outlined above, you'll be able to quickly and easily tackle even the toughest of stains.
