It can be really worrying to find red wine stains on your favorite dashiki. But don’t worry - you can remove them without damaging your beloved garment.
The first step is to gently dab stain with a cloth to absorb as much of the liquid as possible. Try not to rub it too hard as this can cause wine to spread further.
Once you have removed as much of the liquid as possible, you can use specialist stain removers to tackle the remainder. Always read the instructions carefully and test a small, hidden patch to make sure that it won’t affect the color or material of the dashiki.
Alternatively, you can try some home remedies. White vinegar is a great natural solution for removing red wine stains, as is club soda. Simply pour either one onto stain and let it sit for 10 minutes before dabbing area with a damp, lint-free cloth.
Another great tip for getting rid of red wine stains is to mix a tablespoon of liquid detergent, a tablespoon of white vinegar, and ¼ cup of warm water. Then, apply the solution to the stained areas and leave it for around 10 minutes. Finally, rinse the fabric off with cold running water.
When you’ve finished, always make sure the stain is completely removed before you put your dashiki in the washing machine. And don’t forget that once you’ve washed it, hang it up and leave it to dry naturally.
With this guide, you should now know how to clean red wine stains from a dashiki. Now all that’s left to do is to enjoy wearing this beautiful traditional African garment for many more years to come.
