What kind of pre-treater should I use on sparkling wine stains?

You can use a laundry pre-treater spray, or a mild detergent, to pre-treat sparkling wine stains before laundering.

Should I use hot or cold water to wash the pillow?

Cold water is best. Warm or hot water could cause the stain to set, making it harder to remove.

Step 1: Blot the Stain

Start by taking a clean cloth and pressing it onto the stain to absorb as much of the sparkling wine as possible. Take care not to rub the stain, as this can cause it to spread.

Step 2: Pre-Treat the Stain

Using a laundry pre-treater spray or a mild detergent, saturate the stain. Allow the stain to sit for a few minutes before continuing.

Step 3: Launder the Pillow

Put the pillow in washing machine. Use a gentle cycle and cold water, making sure to use a small amount of detergent. For extra protection, add a special fabric stain remover that is designed specifically for wine stains.

Step 4: Dry the Pillow

Once the washing machine cycle is finished, dry the pillow on a low-heat setting. Alternatively, it can be taken outside and hung on a clothesline in direct sunlight.

Step 5: Check the Stain

After drying, examine the stain closely. If the stain is still visible, repeat the process until it is gone.

Conclusion

Sparkling wine stains on pillows may seem impossible to remove, but with the right approach and cleaning products, the stains can be quickly and easily removed. Following these steps will help keep your pillows looking good as new!
