Removing White Wine Stains from Leather Wallets

If you have a leather wallet and it's been stained by white wine, first thing you want to do is to gently scrape area to remove any excess liquid and prevent it from setting in further. Next, blot up the stain using a soft, white cloth. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing as this can cause damage to the material.

Once you've removed as much of the stain as possible, it's time to make a cleaning solution . Mix a few drops of mild detergent (like dish soap) and warm water in a bowl. Dip a clean, white cloth into the mixture until it's damp and then gently rub the stained area with cloth. Be sure to work in slow, circular motions, taking care not to over-saturate the leather.

When the stain has all but disappeared, take a dry cloth and wipe away any remaining moisture from your wallet. Finally, let your wallet air dry in a well-ventilated area for about 8-12 hours.

Removing White Wine Stains from Vinyl Wallets

The process for getting rid of white wine stains from vinyl wallets is slightly different from leather. Before you begin, use a spoon or butter knife to scrape off any excess liquid . Then, blot up the stain with a white cloth .

Next, make a cleaning solution by mixing 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 1 teaspoon of mild dish soap in a bowl of warm water. Dip a clean cloth into the solution and gently rub the area in slow, circular motions until the stain is gone.

Take a dry cloth and wipe away any remaining moisture , then allow wallet to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
