Georgette is a lightweight fabric made from different fibers, such as silk, rayon, and polyester. Its sheer texture makes it a popular choice for special occasion dresses and blouses, but it’s also prone to getting stained. Red wine is especially tricky since the hue can be difficult to let out.
The first step in removing a red wine stain from any fabric is to take proper precautions. Immediately blot the area with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove as much of the liquid as possible. It’s important not to rub the material as this might spread the stain.
Next, you should treat the stain with a mild liquid soap and cold water. Wet the fabric and apply a small amount of detergent to the area. Gently scrub the stain in a circular motion until the spot has been removed. Rinse the fabric with cold water, then blot it dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
If the stain persists after the above steps, try using a non-chlorine bleach. Be sure to test the bleach on an inconspicuous part of the fabric before applying it to the set-in stain. Mix the bleach with cold water and apply the solution to the stained area with a cotton swab. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it out.
Finally, the stained area should be washed in cold water with a gentle detergent. Allow the fabric to air dry, then inspect area for any remaining discoloration. If necessary, repeat the above steps until the stain is completely gone.
To avoid future stains, be sure to protect your georgette dress or blouse with a stain repellant. There are many products available that can be used to guard against all types of potential messes. Be sure to read the instructions carefully and apply the product according to the directions.
Red wine stains on georgette fabrics don’t have to be a nightmare. With the right products and techniques, you can easily remove these pesky spots and keep your fabrics looking their best.
