Method 1: Pretreat with Detergent

The first thing you need to do is pretreat the sparkling wine stain with a prewash detergent (or a stain remover, if you have one). Make sure to read the instructions on the bottle to make sure you use it correctly.

Method 2: Soak in Cold Water

Once you’ve pretreated the stain, soak your cargo pants in a large bowl filled with cold water and a mild detergent for about an hour.

Method 3: Wash in Machine

After that, put your pants in your washing machine and select the coldest water setting available. Use a mild detergent to wash away any remaining traces of sparkling wine. If it’s a lightweight fabric, hang them up to air dry.

Method 4: Spot Clean With Vinegar

If the sparkling wine stain is still visible after washing, try spot cleaning it with white vinegar. Simply dip a cotton ball in vinegar and dab the stained area until it starts to fade. Then wash again as normal.

Conclusion

These easy methods should help you get that sparkling wine stain removed from your cargo pants. With just a bit of effort and patience, your favorite pair of cargos will look like new again.

How long should I soak my pants?

You should soak your cargo pants in the detergent solution for about an hour.

Should I use hot or cold water to wash my pants?

Always use cold water when washing your cargo pants. Hot water can cause the stain to set in, making it nearly impossible to remove.
