Wine Woe: Red to Gone


 Red wine stains may seem intimidating, but with these steps, you can make them disappear:

  1. Blot, Don’t Rub: Use a paper towel or cloth to blot up as much wine as possible without rubbing, which can set the stain.

  2. Apply Salt or Baking Soda: Generously sprinkle salt or baking soda over the stain. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the wine, then gently brush it off. If the stain persists, repeat this step.

  3. Pour White Wine or Club Soda: Pour white wine or club soda over the stain to neutralize and dilute the red wine pigment. Gently blot with a clean cloth to lift as much color as possible.

  4. Use White Vinegar and Dish Soap: Mix one part white vinegar with a few drops of dish soap, apply it to the stain, and let it sit for 10 minutes. The vinegar breaks down the pigment, while the dish soap helps lift it out.

  5. Hydrogen Peroxide for Tough Stains: For especially stubborn stains on light fabrics, apply a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. Be careful with dark fabrics, as it can cause lightening. Rinse thoroughly with cold water.

  6. Pre-Treat with Laundry Detergent: Apply liquid laundry detergent to the stained area, rub gently, and let it sit for another 10 minutes before rinsing with cold water.

  7. Wash in Cold Water: Launder in cold water and air-dry to prevent any remaining stain from setting.

With these steps, your clothes will be wine-stain-free in no time!
