Should you put club soda on that stain? No! How it could make matters worse...


Club soda is the go-to remedy for stains. 

But according to dry cleaner Myriam Testa, we could be doing more damage than good. She says the sodium just encourages anything left behind to penetrate deeper into the fabric. Sparkling water is a better idea. Whichever stain remover you use, remember to treat the spot from the back side. Dousing, dabbing or blotting from the top of the stain just works in to the fibers more. 

If you spill wine or another stain offender on something you really care about – take it to a dry cleaner. They have special solutions for the job and could save you the trouble and the potential of doing any more damage.
