You Will Need
- Cold water , for soaking and for rinsing.
- A cotton towel , for absorbing the stains.
- White vinegar , for treating the fabric.
Step by Step Instructions
- As soon as possible, rinse the affected area with cold water. Try to flush out as much of the red wine as you can before it stains the fabric too much.
- Once you have rinsed out the stain, soak a cotton towel in cold water, then press it gently to the affected area. The cotton material will help to absorb the spilled liquid.
- Next, leave the towel on the stain until it has completely soaked up all liquid. Once it has dried, remove the towel and apply a few drops of white vinegar on the stain.
- Finally, place a dry cotton towel on top of the stain and press firmly to help absorb the vinegar. Leave towel on stain for at least 10 minutes before removing it.
- Once the fabric has dried completely, use a clean cloth to brush off any residual vinegar from the fabric. You should now be stain free!
Notes
- Be sure to use cold water for rinsing and soaking, as hot water can set stain further into the fabric.
- Always test the vinegar on a small area of the fabric before applying it to the entire stain.
