What You'll Need

Cold water
Mild detergent
White vinegar
Baking soda
Absorbent cloth (like terry cloth)

Step 1: Blot Away the Excess Wine

Start by taking a cloth or towel and blotting away as much of the spilled sparkling wine as you can. Don't rub or scrub at the stain as this could push the liquid further into the fabric.

Step 2: Rinse with Cold Water

Next, rinse the spot with cold water. This will help to dilute stain and make it easier to remove. Don't use warm or hot water as this could set the stain permanently.

Step 3: Apply Detergent and Vinegar

Create a mixture of mild detergent and white vinegar and apply it to the stain. Use a soft brush to gently scrub the fabric, then let it sit for 15-20 minutes.

Step 4: Rinse Again with Cold Water

Rinse the spot again with cold water to remove the detergent and vinegar mixture. This time, you can use a gentle rubbing motion to help lift the stain.

Step 5: Treat with Baking Soda Paste

Mix baking soda with a few drops of cold water to form a paste, then apply it to the stained area. Rub it in gently, then let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Finally, rinse the spot with cold water one last time.

Step 6: Allow to Dry Before Washing

Allow the area to air dry before washing the fabric. Don't put the item in the dryer until you're sure the stain is completely gone.
