How to Remove Ginger Ale Stains From Upholstery
Ginger ale is a carbonated soda that leaves lighter-colored upholstery slightly discolored with a yellowish-golden hue when spilled. Drinks are commonly spilled in homes on carpets, furniture, hard flooring, countertops and tables.
Things You Will Need
- Soap-free detergent
- Soft wash cloth
- Spray bottle with warm water
- Paper towels
Even if you dry them as quickly as possible, sometimes, on fabrics like upholstered furniture, they still leave a stain if nothing is used to treat the spill immediately.
-
Pour a few drops of soap-free detergent onto the ginger ale stain.
-
Let the detergent sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Rub the stain gently with the soft wash cloth.
-
Spray the area with warm water, and rub the stain again to help lift the stain and detergent.
-
Blot the area with paper towels until all liquid is absorbed.
