What You Will Need
- White Vinegar (1/2 cup)
- Laundry Detergent (1/4 cup)
- Baking Soda (1/4 cup)
- Warm Water (1 quart)
Step 1: Blot the Stain
The first step to cleaning sparkling wine stains from your poncho is to gently blot the stain with a clean, absorbent cloth or paper towel. Be sure to press firmly, but be careful not to rub fabric too harshly, as this could cause the stain to spread or set further into fabric.
Step 2: Make a Cleaning Solution
Next, mix together a cleaning solution by combining 1/2 cup of white vinegar, 1/4 cup of laundry detergent, 1/4 cup of baking soda, and 1 quart of warm water. Stir the mixture until it’s completely blended together.
Step 3: Apply the Cleaning Solution
Once the solution is ready, apply it directly to the stained area of the poncho. Allow it to sit for up to 15 minutes before blotting the stain again with a clean cloth.
Step 4: Rinse the Poncho
Rinse the poncho under warm running water and let it air dry. Repeat steps 2-4 as needed until the stain has been completely removed.
