Instructions
- Blot the affected area on the belt with paper towels. Make sure to use light pressure so as not to spread the stain.

- Rinse off the paste with cold water.
- Apply mild laundry detergent to the stain and scrub the area gently with a toothbrush. Allow the detergent to sit on the stain for 10 to 15 minutes.

- If the stain remains, repeat steps 2-5 until it is gone.
Tips For Success
- When dealing with white wine stains, act quickly! The sooner you take action, the better the chance of success.
- Do not rub the stain as this will only cause it to spread further.
- Test the cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous part of belt first to make sure it won’t cause any damage.
- Never put your belt in the washing machine as this could cause it to shrink or become discolored.
