We've all been there—reaching for a celebratory glass of sparkly and nudging the bottle just an inch too far, resulting in a few drops of rosé landing squarely on our beloved tracksuit.

Removing Sparkling Wine from Tracksuits: a Step-by-Step Guide
- If the stain is still wet, begin by dabbing the area with a clean cloth to remove any excess liquid.
- Mix two tablespoons of liquid laundry detergent with two cups of lukewarm water.
- Dip a clean cloth or sponge into the detergent mixture and gently rub against the stained area.
- Rinse the area with lukewarm water.
- Repeat steps 2 through 4 until the stain is gone, making sure to use a clean cloth each time.
- To remove more stubborn stains, make a paste of baking soda and warm water. Apply the paste to the stained area and allow it to sit for 10 minutes before rinsing with a damp cloth.
- After the stain has been removed, give the tracksuit a thorough rinse.
- Air dry the tracksuit for best results.
Additional Tips for Removing Sparkling Wine Stains
- For a stronger cleaning solution, mix one part vinegar and one part warm water and rub the solution over the stained area.
- It’s important to take action as soon as possible after the stain occurs to prevent it from setting.
- Do a patch test on the fabric to ensure the cleaning solution won’t damage the material.
- If stain persists, you can use a steam cleaner or oxygen-based bleach and repeat steps 2 - 8.
