Best Champagne Delivery Presents:

Its one of those moments that everyone dreads, when the wine is making its way onto clothes or furnishings. First there is a pause whilst everyone puts down their own wine glasses, takes in what has happened, and then the suggestions start. Opinions vary across the board and everyone will want to give theirs, even if they all contradict each other. Here we take a look at the best action to take if and when you spill different types of wine

Red wine stains. If you don’t approach the stain in the right way, red wine can be a permanent addition to any fabric. There has long been a myth that the best action to take if you spill red wine is to pour white wine all over it.  A much more effective method is to mix a spoonful of ammonia in with some talcum powder and then pour it all over the stain. Give the powder a good couple of hours to soak up all the wine and another couple to dry out itself, before hoovering the whole lot up. The other option is to use white vinegar and pour this over the wine which breaks up the colouring and makes it easier to mop up. Vinegar works best if its given around 45 mins to work its magic

White wine stains. There is a great deal less tannin (wine colouring) in white wine and so this means it is less of a headache when spilt. Warm soapy water is the best tactic here, just use a cloth to sponge it away. The smell can then be tackled using either a carpet cleaner or talcum powder again.

Champagne. This is whole different ball game altogether as you shouldn’t necessarily rush to clean up a champagne spill. This is because the bubbles in champagne are known to actually break up dirt particles and lift them out of the fabric. Putting glass vases or crystal vases over the spill will keep it from drying out and the cleaning effect will go on for longer.
