Cleaning Wine Stains from a Backpack

No one wants to deal with spilled wine on their favorite backpack. But with the right steps, it's possible to efficiently remove red wine stains from any type of material or color. To get rid of a stubborn red wine stain, try these methods:

  • For Light Fabrics: Dilute a few drops of dish soap in warm water. Dip a toothbrush in the solution and lightly scrub stain in a circular motion. Once done, rinse area with cool water and let it dry completely.
  • For Dark Fabrics: Mix one part rubbing alcohol and two parts warm water. Use a cloth or towel to dab the solution onto the stain. Allow it to sit for five minutes then dab area with a clean cloth to remove any residue. If needed, repeat the process until most of the stain is gone.

Preventing Future Stains

Aside from cleaning existing stains, it's important to take preventative measures to avoid future messes. Consider applying a waterproof spray over the entire bag. This will help repel liquids from the fabric and make it easier to clean up any spills. Additionally, you can choose to line your backpack pockets with plastic bags. This extra layer of protection will keep the delicate fabrics inside clean and free of any liquids.
