Water-Dissolvable Stains
If the dessert wine stain is still wet, flush it right away with cool water. Blot the stain with a damp white cloth and try to press out as much liquid as possible. If the stain is still clearly visible, apply a laundry prewash treatment directly onto the spot; let it sit for at least five minutes.
Dried or Set-In Stains
If the stain has already settled in and dried, materials of your boxers should be taken into account. For cotton, synthetic blends, and linen, mix together a one-part dishwashing soap and two parts hydrogen peroxide solution. Apply this mixture to the stain and let it sit for a few minutes before washing; if needed, repeat the process. For silk garments, avoid using hydrogen peroxide and instead opt for a solution of equal parts mild detergent and warm water. Rub the spot gently and then rinse with cold water.
Extra Tips and Tricks
- Always air dry the garment after washing and treating.
- Check label of the clothing for possible shrinkage when washing.
- For stubborn stains, using an enzyme-based cleaner (such as Zout) is highly recommended.
- When in doubt, always seek the help of a professional dry cleaner.
