Removing Fresh Stains
If you've got a fresh sparkling wine stain on your sandals, the first thing you'll want to do is dab it gently with an absorbent cloth or paper towel. Don't rub it in – this could cause the stain to set, making it harder to remove. Once you've blotted up as much of the wine as you can, apply a gentle detergent or spot remover directly to the stain.
Allow the detergent or spot remover to sit for a few minutes, then rinse with warm water and blot again. If stain is still visible, you can try soaking your sandals in a mixture of warm water and laundry detergent for about 30 minutes. After that, rinse again and let air dry.
Removing Set-in Stains
If the sparkling wine stain has already set in, there are still some things you can do to get rid of it. Mix together one tablespoon of white vinegar and one tablespoon of dish soap in a small bowl, then dip a cloth in the solution and use it to scrub the affected area. Rinse with warm water and repeat if necessary.
Another option is to mix together equal parts baking soda and hydrogen peroxide until it forms a paste. Apply the paste to the stained area and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing it off. Use a soft brush or cloth to scrub away any remaining stains.
Keeping Your Sandals Sparkling!
No matter what kind of stain you're dealing with, most important thing is to act quickly. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to get rid of the stain. And remember that these methods should only be used on sandals made of fabric, leather, or synthetic materials – never on suede or patent leather.
By following these steps, you can keep your sandals looking as good as new. So go out and enjoy the summer – but remember to keep a close eye on your sparkling wine!
