When removing a sparkling wine stain from a kimono, it's important to act quickly. Begin by gently blotting the material with a clean cloth or paper towel to remove any excess liquid and avoid pushing the stain further into the fabric. Be sure to use a damp cloth to thoroughly remove all traces of the stain. Use a gentle circular motion, starting from the outside of the stain and working inward.
Next, you'll need to create a cleaning solution. You can do this by mixing together one part white vinegar and two parts cold water. Once combined, dip a clean cloth in the solution and dab stained area. Again, it is important to avoid rubbing in the stain, but rather just lightly dabbing it to ensure it is removed without damaging the fabric. After dabbing solution, rinse the kimono with cold water to ensure all of the cleaning solution has been removed.
If the stain persists, you can try using a small amount of dish soap on the stained area. Again, apply the detergent with a damp cloth, dabbing instead of rubbing. Let the detergent sit for about 10 minutes and then rinse the fabric thoroughly. To help set the stain and freshen up the fabric, you may want to use an odorless fabric softener after cleaning. Be sure to follow the instructions on the package.
Once the stain has been completely removed, let kimono air dry or lay it flat on a clean surface. Avoid pressing the fabric while it is still wet and avoid placing it in the dryer because this could cause the stain to set. If the stain has been completely removed, kimono should look like new!
