Accidentally spilling a glass of white wine on your favorite pair of white wedges is a nightmare come true. But all hope isn't lost! Instead of tossing your wedges in the trash, you can save them with some quick and easy stain removal methods.
The first step to removing a white wine stain is to act quickly. Blot the stain with a paper towel or cloth to soak up as much of the liquid as possible. Then, create a mixture of two parts water and one part vinegar and spray it directly onto the affected area. This will help lift and break up stain.
Once mixture has been applied, scrub the stained area of wedges with a soft-bristled toothbrush. This should help to release the stubborn wine residue. When finished, wipe off the cleaning solution with a damp cloth and allow the shoes to air dry.
The best way to deal with a white wine spill is to prevent it from happening in the first place. If you are out at a restaurant or bar, be mindful when carrying your drink and watch where you step. If you're having a party at home, remind guests to stay away from your shoes.
You can also make sure to keep your wedges safe by protecting them with a waterproof or water-resistant sealant. This can also help to prevent scuffs, dirt and other potential stains on your shoes.
