Removing Sparkling Wine Stains from Chiffon Georgette

  1. Blot the affected area with a clean cloth: Gently press fabric in with a clean cloth to lift off as much of the stain as possible.
  2. Dab the stain with a mixture of vinegar and water: Mix equal parts white vinegar and cool water in a bowl and dab the stained area with a damp cloth. This will help break down the stain and make it easier to clean.
  3. Cover the stain with a bit of cornstarch: Apply a thin layer of cornstarch over the stain and let sit for at least an hour (or longer, depending on the severity of stain). The cornstarch will help draw the liquid out of the fabric and absorb the stain.
  4. Remove the cornstarch and brush away any remaining residue: Using a soft-bristled brush, gently remove the cornstarch. You should see that the stain has been significantly lightened.
  5. Wash with cold water: Soak the fabric in cold water and a gentle detergent. Once the fabric is fully saturated, rinse with cold water and let air-dry.

Additional Tips

  • Always test whatever cleaning solution you use on an inconspicuous area of the garment first to ensure it won't cause any damage.
  • If stain persists after a few tries, take garment to a professional cleaner for further treatment.
  • Gently blot the affected area, not rub—rubbing can damage delicate fabrics.
  • When possible, try and address the stain as soon as possible for best results.
