Step 1: Blot the Stain Immediately
The first step when dealing with a wine stain on Chicos is to blot the excess liquid as quickly as possible. Make sure to use a clean cloth or paper towel, and only dab and press gently – never rub or scrub, as this will spread and set the stain further into the fabric.
Step 2: Treat with White Vinegar
Next, create a solution of white vinegar and cold water and gently dab across the stained area. Do not let the solution soak, just lightly spritz and blot - this will help to lift the stain from the fabric. As an alternative, you can soak the affected area in club soda for 15 minutes to remove the stain.
Step 3: Wash with Detergent
Once all the excess liquid has been removed, you can then proceed to wash your Chico using a mild detergent. Start by setting the washing machine to a gentle or delicate cycle, add the detergent of your choice, and add a few drops of dish soap to help remove the stain. Once done, rinse and air dry.
Step 4: Pre-Treat and Spot Wash
If the stain is still visible after washing, pre-treat stained area with a commercial stain remover, which you can find in most supermarkets. For small stains, opt for spot washing – simply dip a rag in warm water, add a few drops of detergent, and rub the spot gently until the stain is gone. Then rinse and dry.
Step 5: Check for Residue
Take a closer look at the stained area after drying. If there are still traces of the wine stain, repeat steps 2 through 4 until the stain is completely gone.
Conclusion
Removing a wine stain from Chicos may seem like a daunting task, but with a few simple steps, you can make your clothes look brand new again. Just remember to act fast, and blot, treat, and rinse the stain thoroughly before washing.
