Step 1: Blot the Stain Immediately
It's important to act fast when dealing with red wine stains. As soon as you notice the stain, use a paper towel or cloth to blot it up. Don't rub it in and don't let it sit for too long as this will only increase chances of the stain setting in.
Step 2: Apply a Stain Remover
Next, you'll want to apply a stain remover to the affected area. Choose one that is specially formulated for red wine stains. Follow the instructions on the packaging when applying.
Step 3: Wash the Material in Cold Water
Using lukewarm water, add some detergent to the mixture and mix everything together. Put the stained fabric in this mixture and allow it to soak for an hour. Afterward, take fabric out and rinse it in cold water. Do not use hot water as this will set the stain.
Step 4: Hang to Dry
Once you're done washing fabric, hang it up to dry. Don't try to dry it in a machine as this may cause the stain to set in. Depending on the severity of the stain, the drying process may take several hours.
