The first step to removing a sparkling wine stain is to pre-treat affected area. Using warm water and a liquid detergent, gently rub the stain with a soft cloth or sponge. Be sure to rinse the area thoroughly before attempting any further stain removal treatments.
Once the pre-treatment is complete, you can try applying a commercial stain remover to the affected area. Follow the instructions on the cleaner's label, and allow it to sit for recommended amount of time before rinsing the fabric. Make sure to check for any discoloration prior to applying the cleaner to the entire garment.
White vinegar can be an effective treatment for stubborn sparkling wine stains. Fill a spray bottle with 1/4 cup of white vinegar and 2 cups of warm water. Spray the mixture onto stain, allowing it to penetrate fabric. After a few minutes, dab the spot with a clean cloth until the stain fades away.
After pre-treating and attempting to remove the stain with a commercial cleaner and white vinegar, it’s time to wash the jersey. Use the warmest water temperature the fabric can handle and add a small amount of detergent. For extra stain removing power, you can also add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle. When the cycle has finished, hang the jersey up to air dry.
