Gather Your Supplies

First, you’ll need to collect a few items. These can be found at most grocery stores or home improvement stores:

  • White vinegar
  • Baking soda
  • Lukewarm water
  • Soft cloth
  • Gently detergent or oil cleaner
  • Toothbrush (optional)

Steps to Clean Wine Stains from Adidas

  1. Mix equal parts white vinegar and lukewarm water in a bowl.
  2. Dampen your cloth in the mixture and dab the stained area.
  3. If the stain is still visible, apply a paste made from baking soda and water to the area and let it sit for 15 minutes.
  4. Once the paste has dried, brush away with a dry cloth and vacuum any residue.
  5. If the stain persists, place a small amount of your gentle detergent or oil cleaner onto a clean cloth, and then rub gently in a circular motion. Do not use too much product or scrub hard.
  6. Once done, rinse the area with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
  7. Finally, let air-dry or use a blowdryer on low heat.

Additional Tips

For more stubborn stains, you may need to get a bit more creative. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when trying to get rid of a wine stain:

  • Always test the product or solution you plan to use on a small, inconspicuous area of the shoe first.
  • If using a toothbrush or similar cleaning tool, try using a soft brush and always make sure to brush lightly.
  • Do not use any harsh chemicals such as bleach or heavier cleaners on your shoes as they can cause permanent damage.

Conclusion

By following the above steps, you should be able to easily and effectively remove that pesky red wine stain from your favorite Adidas shoes. Just remember to always test any product or solution you plan on using, and to avoid the use of abrasive tools or harsh chemicals to ensure your shoes stay looking their best.
