Step 1: Gently Blot

As soon as you notice the spill, begin gently blotting with a paper towel or white cloth. Never rub or scrub the stain, as this can cause the stain to set in more deeply. Continue blotting until all the liquid is absorbed.

Step 2: Dilute the Stain

Once liquid has been absorbed, make a cleaning solution by diluting one part white vinegar with two parts warm water. Then, dip your cloth in the solution, wring out any excess liquid and gently dab at the stain. This will help remove the residue of the sparkling wine.

Step 3: Rinse and Dry

Once the stain has been removed, rinse the area thoroughly with cold water. Then, hold the stained area under running cold water for several minutes. Finally, lay the item flat to dry.
