How To Remove Red Wine Stains
A dear reader wrote in to ask how she can remove the red wine dribbles that inevitably end up on her blouses and table linens. This drinking problem is not only common, it’s in high season with all the weddings and open bars of summertime.
If you spill red wine on cotton, such as men’s dress shirts or table linens, try dousing it with milk immediately. This will stop the red from setting.
A fantastic laundry treatment combines Dawn dishwashing soap and hydrogen peroxide. The solution is drizzled on the stain and allowed to soak for a few minutes. You can watch the stain lighten. Then throw it in the wash.
Noto bene: Watch out for champagne spills. They will stain clothes a brownish yellow. Wash or dry clean as soon as possible to avoid yellowing.
