A Step-by-Step Guide to Red Wine Spill  Removal 87b8a011



You're having a nice dinner or a few drinks with friends when your hand slips, the glass or bottle falls, and all of a sudden there's a spreading scarlet stain on your new white dress. But, while red wine stains can be embarrassing and unsightly, they don't need to stay on your clothes for long – there are some fairly simple steps to help get rid of them. So, without further ado, here are a few tips on how to remove red wine stains from clothes, bedding, or other fabric.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Red Wine Spill  Removal Jo1210
Depending on how much wine you have spilt, gently dab or blot the excess liquid with a clean cloth or piece of kitchen roll. Do not rub the stain – you do not want to make it worse.
If possible, apply some salt on the stain while it is still damp. Salt is a good tool to help tackle red wine stains, as it soaks up the excess liquid and stops it penetrating the fibres of your clothes. Of course, there may be times when this remedy is not possible – whipping off your stained top in the middle of a crowded restaurant in order to pour salt on it may raise more than a few eyebrows!
   

You could also try applying white wine to the stain, which will help neutralise it. Just gently dab the stain to remove the excess liquid. Baking soda also can be a useful product for helping to remove red wine stains. Consider applying a baking soda paste to the affected area.
After applying the salt, baking soda, or white wine, you should see a difference. If it's a larger stain, or already partially dried in, then you can try soaking the garment in white wine or in club soda.
   


If the methods above aren’t available, or haven’t quite removed the wine stain entirely, apply a stain removal product to the stain – just follow the directions on the label.
After this treatment is complete, wash the garment as normal on a cool wash with a laundry detergent like Persil small & mighty. Avoid a hot wash or tumble drying on high heat, as heat may set the stain.

Please note these stain removal tips are designed for treating stains on common fabrics, such as cotton and polyester. If you stain a more delicate fabric, such as silk, it might to be advisable to have the item professionally cleaned. Always refer to care instructions on the clothing label to check the suitability of different cleaning methods, especially when using chemical cleaning solutions. Also, remember that the sooner you can start to treat a stain, the better the outcome.
