Your guide to removing fizzy drink stains
A cold, refreshing fizzy drink always hits the spot, whether its a cola for your child or a fizzy summer cocktail for you. We all know that spillages happen, and a cola stain may look concerning due to its dark colour, but you'll be pleased to know that fizzy drink stains are easy to remove in general.
As with all stains, the best thing to do is act immediately — and follow our expert advice...
General directions
Gently blot up as much of the stain as possible with white paper towels or a clean, white, lint-free cloth. Dab, rather than rub, at the stain. Follow the directions below for specific fabrics.
Carpet
Cover the stain with Bissell OxyKIC and, working from the outside inwards, gently blot the stain with white paper towels or a clean, white, lint-free cloth. Make repeated small applications rather than completely soaking the area. Continue until the stain has completely disappeared.
Washable fabrics
After blotting, rinse the stain under plenty of cold running water. For cotton, follow with a 40°C machine-wash, using biological detergent. For silk, follow with a 30°C machine-wash on the delicates cycle. For wool, follow with a 30°C machine-wash on the delicates cycle.
