How to Remove Red Wine Stains from Shoes – Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

 

Spilling red wine on your favorite shoes might feel like the end of the world, but with the right approach, you can bring them back to life. Whether it’s a fresh splash or a stubborn dried stain, tackling wine stains is simple when you’re armed with the right product and knowledge.

Our go-to solution? The highly effective Red Wine Stain Remover. Designed to target tough wine stains, it’s the perfect companion for rescuing your footwear.

How to Use the Red Wine Stain Remover

What You’ll Need:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Blot the Stain: If the stain is fresh, immediately blot it with a dry, clean cloth to absorb excess wine. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
  2. Apply the Stain Remover: Spray or dab the Red Wine Stain Remover directly onto the stained area. Be generous but controlled to target only the affected spot.
  3. Gently Work the Stain: Using a microfiber cloth or soft brush, gently rub the stain remover into the fabric or material in circular motions.
  4. Let It Sit: Allow the product to work its magic for a few minutes. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for recommended wait times.
  5. Wipe Away Residue: Dampen another clean cloth with lukewarm water and wipe the area to remove any residue.
  6. Air Dry: Let your shoes dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct heat, which can damage certain materials.

Cautions for Certain Materials

While the Red Wine Stain Remover is effective on most materials, always exercise caution:

  • Leather: Test the stain remover on a hidden area before full application, as leather can discolor if overexposed to cleaning agents. After cleaning, condition the leather to restore its finish.
  • Suede: Avoid oversaturating suede, as it’s highly absorbent. Use minimal product and a suede brush to restore the nap after cleaning.
  • Delicate Fabrics: For materials like silk or untreated canvas, spot-test and use the product sparingly to prevent discoloration or weakening of the fabric.
  • Synthetic Materials: These are generally stain-resistant but may still react to strong cleaners. Test first, and avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent scratches.
