Steps to Clean Dessert Wine Stain From Lingerie

  • Dab, don't rub. The first and most important rule of treating any type of wine stain is to blot the affected area with a clean cloth. Don't scrub or rub the stain, as this will only cause it to spread further.
  • Create a homemade solution. Create a solution of one cup of warm water, one tablespoon of white vinegar, and one teaspoon of dish detergent. Dampen a cloth with this solution and blot stained area.
  • Rinse with cold water. After applying homemade cleaning solution, rinse the stained area with cold water. Again, be sure to dab and not scrub!
  • Apply a specific stain remover. There are specialized stain removers on the market that are specifically designed to remove wine stains from delicate fabrics. Make sure to read the instructions and always test product in an inconspicuous spot before using it on stained area.
  • Launder with care. Always remember to check the tag on your lingerie to determine the best way to launder it. If the lingerie is machine washable, use cold water and a gentle cycle. Otherwise, hand washing is recommended.

Tips for Preventing Dessert Wine Stains

  • If you're wearing delicate lingerie while enjoying your dessert wine, it may be best to bring a towel to sit on or put a cloth napkin over your lap.
  • Keep a spot remover handy. There are many spot removers available that can instantly treat any wine stains before they have a chance to set into the fabric.
  • Stay vigilant. It's always better to prevent a wine stain than to have to treat one.
