Alpaca fabric can be expensive, so if you’ve accidentally spilled some red wine on it, you no doubt feel like you’ve made a costly mistake. Luckily, there are some simple steps you can take to remove the stain.
What You'll Need
- A clean cloth
- Mild laundry detergent
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Hydrogen peroxide
Instructions
- First, get rid of as much of the excess liquid as possible. Use a clean cloth to blot (not rub) at the spot until the fabric is no longer saturated.
- Create a cleaning solution by adding a teaspoon of mild laundry detergent and a teaspoon of white vinegar to one quart of lukewarm water. Mix the solution until it becomes sudsy.
- Soak an absorbent cloth in the solution and dab at the stain until it begins to fade.
- If the stain still won’t come out, add a teaspoon of baking soda to the mix. Let solution sit for 15 minutes before dabbing at the stain again.
- For tough stains, make a paste by mixing equal parts hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Apply paste to the stain and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then, rinse off paste with cold water.
- Once the stain has disappeared, rinse area with cold water. Rinse until all of the soap is gone.
