Step 1: Blot Stain
The first thing you should do is to blot the stain with a clean cloth or paper towel. This will help to remove some of the moisture and diluted wine from the surface. Do not rub or scrub the stain as this could cause further damage to the fabric.
Step 2: Pre-Treat With an Oxygen-Based Cleaner
Using an oxygen-based cleaner such as OxiClean or a similar product, pre-treat the stained area. Apply a few drops of the cleaner directly to the stain and allow it to sit for a few minutes. This will help to break down wine and loosen the stains so that they are easier to remove.
Step 3: Rinse The Area
Next, rinse area with lukewarm water. This will help to remove any residue from the cleaner and also any additional wine that may have been left behind.
Step 4: Wash The Canvas in Cold Water
In a cold water wash, add a gentle detergent and a few drops of the oxygen-based cleaner. For best results, use a cycle that is made for delicates. When finished, hang the canvas or spread it out flat to dry. Do not put the canvas in the dryer as it may set the stain.
Step 5: Repeat if Necessary
If there are still traces of the stain after the initial cleaning, you can repeat the process until the stain is gone. Once the canvas is completely dry, inspect the fabric for any remaining stains.
Conclusion
Cleaning red wine stains from canvas can be done with a few simple steps. It is important to remember that using an oxygen-based cleaner and a gentle detergent will help to break down the stain and make it easier to remove. Keep in mind that repeated treatments may be necessary before stain is completely gone.
