Removing Dried-On Stain
If the sparkling wine stain has already dried, you will need to rehydrate it first. To do this, soak the area with a mixture of one part cold water and one part white vinegar solution. After it has soaked for five minutes, blot the area with an absorbent cloth.
Treating Fresh Stains
If the stain is still fresh, you can blot the area with a wet paper towel. This helps to draw out the stain without spreading it further. Do not rub the area as this can cause the stain to spread.
Once you have blotted the stain as much as possible, you can add a pre-treatment powder laundry detergent or liquid detergent to the area. Rub it in gently with your fingers and leave it for five minutes.
Washing the Shirt
To remove the stain, place the shirt in a washing machine and wash it on the hottest setting that is safe for the fabric. If you have further concerns about damaging the garment, use a gentle cycle. Once the wash cycle is finished, inspect the shirt for remaining stains. If there are still traces of the stain, repeat the laundering process.
Checking and Treating Remaining Stains
When you are sure all stain has been removed, hang the shirt to dry. If stain is still visible after the shirt is completely dry, repeat cleaning steps until the stain is completely gone. If needed, pretreat the area again before laundering.
Key Takeaways
Removing sparkling wine stains from shirts requires patience and a few simple cleaning supplies. First, blot the stain with a moist paper towel. Then, treat the area with detergent and allow it to sit for five minutes. Finally, wash the garment on the hottest setting. If the stain persists, repeat these steps until the stain is removed.
