Sparkling wine is an enjoyable drink, but when it spills onto your wallet, it can cause an unsightly stain that can be difficult to get rid of. No matter what type of material your wallet is made out of, there are some effective ways to remove sparkling wine stains quickly and easily.
The first step is to remove any excess liquid as soon as possible. Be sure not to rub or press too hard as this could spread the stain further. Next, apply a small amount of gentle detergent onto the affected area. Rub the detergent onto the stain in a circular motion to loosen it up. Once you’re done, use a clean cloth to blot up any excess liquid.
If the stain has already dried and there are still traces of it remaining, try using a soft bristle brush to gently scrub area. This should help to lift stain without rubbing too hard. Finally, moisten a clean cloth with cold water and wipe away any remaining detergent.
Leather wallets require a little more delicate care when it comes to cleaning. Take a teaspoon of vinegar and mix it with enough warm water to create a solution. Dip a soft cloth into the mixture and wring out any excess liquid. Gently, rub stained area with cloth. Be careful not to press too hard, as leather can become damaged if it is scrubbed too vigorously.
Once you’ve finished, dry the area with a clean cloth. You may also want to leave wallet in a warm place for a few hours to allow it to air dry. If stain hasn’t come out completely, repeat the process until it is gone.
Fabric wallets require a slightly different approach. Before you begin, check the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure that it is safe to use any cleaning solutions. Depending on the fabric, you may need to use a special cleaning product.
Mix a tablespoon of mild detergent with a cup of warm water. Dip a clean cloth into the mixture and rub it onto the stained area. Make sure to dab rather than rub, as rubbing can cause the stain to spread. Once you’re done, rinse the cloth and wring it out before wiping away any soap residue. Allow the wallet to air dry and check to see if the stain is gone.
If necessary, you may need to repeat this process several times. However, bear in mind that fabric wallets may become discolored due to certain cleaning products, so use a mild detergent if possible.
