Sip No More: How to Clean Wine Stains from Your Favorite Kate Spade Items

Having your favorite Kate Spade item stain with wine is almost worse than spilling it in first place. But don’t worry – there are a few tried and true methods for cleaning those pesky red stains from your beloved pieces.

Tools You'll Need

• Cold Water
• A damp cloth (white or undyed)
• White Vinegar
• Bicarbonate of soda (otherwise known as baking soda)

Cleaning Steps

1. Act fast. The sooner you can clean off the stain, the better.
2. Soak up some of spill. Using the damp cloth, soak up as much of the wine as possible.
3. Dab with cold water. Dampen the affected area with cold water again and dab, not scrub, with the cloth until the stain disappears as much as possible.
4. Mix white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. Combine equal parts white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda, stirring until you achieve a paste-like consistency.
5. Apply the paste. Gently apply paste to the stained area with a cloth and leave it there for 30 minutes.
6. Rinse and pat dry. Once the paste has dried, rinse it away with cold water and pat dry with the other end of the cloth.

Prevention Tips

• Always keep a few microfibre cloths on hand. Microfibre cloths are very effective in cleaning spills without leaving behind any lint.
• Be mindful of where you set your drinks.
• Invest in some waterproofing products for your items.
