Everyone is familiar with the spilling of a drink, whether it’s juice, coffee, or wine. It's especially inconvenient when it gets onto clothing. The ease of removing wine stains from clothes depends on the type of fabric the clothing material is made of. Generally, the removal process requires more effort for natural fabrics like cotton, linen, or wool. Read on to learn how to clean wine stains from cargo pants.
What You Need
- Cold water
- Dishwashing liquid
- Salt
- White vinegar
- Baking soda
- Hydrogen peroxide
Step by Step Instructions
- Blot any excess wine with a clean cloth or paper towel. Do not rub stain as this will spread it further.
- Mix one tablespoon of dishwashing liquid and two cups of cold water in a bowl. Soak the stained area in mixture and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
- After soaking, squirt a few drops of dishwashing liquid directly onto the stain and rub it in gently.
- Rinse the pants in cold water and check for any remaining stain. If it persists, blot the area with a cloth dampened with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and cold water.
- If the stain still remains, mix equal parts salt and cold water in a bowl and submerge the stained area. Let it soak for 30 minutes and then rinse it in cold water.
- If the stain still remains, sprinkle some baking soda over the stain and pour hydrogen peroxide over it so that it forms a paste. Let it sit for 30 minutes and then rinse it with cold water.
- Now launder the pants according to instructions on the care label.
By following these steps you'll be able to get rid of those pesky wine stains from your cargo pants. Good luck!
