How-To | Remove Wine Stains

However you choose to wine down—whether stopping to smell the rosé or bantering over bordeaux—spills are bound to happen. When the glass gets tipsy, don't let your mood turn sour! Follow our steps to safely and effectively remove that stain at home.

Gather These Tools: 

Stain Solution, Stain Brush, All-Purpose Bleach Alternative, Wash Tub Basin

STEP 1:
Apply Solution

Pour Stain Solution directly onto affected areas—a little goes a long way!

STEP 2:
Create a Powerful Paste

Strengthen the formula by sprinkling All-Purpose Bleach Alternative* on the Stain Solution to create a powerful paste. Use your finger or a Stain Brush to work the mixture into the fabric.

*Do not use All-Purpose Bleach Alternative on fabrics made with silk or wool.

STEP 3:
Give it a Soak

Soak the item in a basin filled with hot water and one capful of All-Purpose Bleach Alternative* for up to 30 minutes. If the stain is not completely gone following this step, repeat this process until satisfied.

*For wool or silk items, skip the All-Purpose Bleach Alternative and soak in cool water for up to 30 minutes.

STEP 4:
Launder

Launder the item using the appropriate laundress Detergent for a clean, stain-free finish.

When catching up over wine and spilling the details results in spills on the couch, don't fret! Save yourself from spending money on new furniture by spot treating your way back to clean.

Note, when cleaning upholstery for the first time, we always recommend testing an inconspicuous area before cleaning fully.

Do not continue cleaning if: 
• The water or product leaves a mark or creates discoloration 
• The treated area is cleaner and brighter than the rest of the fabric 
• The fabric ripples or wrinkles

If you see any of the above reactions, stop spot treating. If the item requires further cleaning, have a professional clean the item in-home.

Gather These Tools: 

Stain Solution, Stain Brush or Scrub Brush, Lint-Free Cleaning Cloths

STEP 1:

Apply Stain Solution directly to the affected area. Work the solution into the fabric using your finger, the Stain Brush, or Scrub Brush, depending on the surface area of the stain.

STEP 2:

Wet a Lint-Free Cleaning Cloth with warm water and gently blot the affected area until the stain and all suds disappear. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as necessary.

When the stain is no longer visible, thoroughly blot with a clean, dry Lint-Free Cleaning Cloth.
