You will find different methods to remove a red wine stain from your clothes. We have discussed the most effective ones below. Choose the one that suits best for your cloth material.
Mix equal quantities of hydrogen peroxide and a dishwasher detergent, and pour it on the stained area. Let it get soaked, and you might see the stain fading out. Then, wash your clothes normally. That’s it – now your favorite dress has no more red wine stains. This process works best on light-colored clothes.
Salt soaks moisture, so it helps to remove the wine stain. You can either use table salt or kosher salt. Simply sprinkle the salt on the stain- make sure the entire stain is covered. Then, leave it overnight so that the salt can soak up the wine, or you can pour some hot water over the stained area where you have applied salt. Finally, wash off as usual.
Pour some white vinegar on the stain, as this will help neutralize the red pigments of the wine. Then, immediately dab some laundry detergent into the area. Finally, wash off the cloth in warm water, and you are ready to wear the dress again!
Baking soda breaks up the red wine stain and absorbs it, so it is a great option to remove the stain from your clothes. Firstly make a paste of baking soda with some water; just make sure it is smooth but not too runny. Then apply a good amount of the paste on the stain and let it completely dry. Finally, rinse the cloth in hot water.
Bleaching is not always a good option, but you can surely use this method, especially for your white clothes. Just soak the stained portion in bleach for nearly fifteen minutes and then wash it in warm water.
Lastly, if none of the above methods work, you can opt for this method. Pour a generous quantity of club soba on the stained area and let it soak overnight. If it works, then wash off your clothes as usual.
