Irish crochet is an intricate and lovely craft of crochet, and red wine is a delicious beverage that many enjoy - but the two don't mix very well. As a result, removing red wine stains from Irish crochet can seem like a daunting task.
Fortunately, you don't have to throw out your Irish crochet due to unsightly red wine stains. With just a few simple steps, you can remove these stubborn stains with ease and save your beautiful creation! Here's what you need to do.
Step 1: Blot the Stain
Using an absorbent paper towel, gently blot the stained area to remove any excess liquid. Be careful not to spread the stain further, or rub it into the fabric more.
Step 2: Soak the Stain
Fill the sink with cold water, then submerge stained area of Irish crochet. Soak fabric for at least 30 minutes, or until the stain starts to fade. Avoid using hot water, as this will set stain.
Step 3: Apply Liquid Detergent
Remove the Irish crochet from the sink, then apply a few drops of liquid detergent directly to stain. Using a gentle circular motion, massage the detergent into the fabric and continue until the stain begins to lighten. Repeat this process if necessary.
Step 4: Rinse and Dry
Rinse the fabric with cold water until all of detergent is gone and stain has faded. Squeeze out any excess water and lay the Irish crochet flat in a clean, dry towel. Iron fabric once it’s dry, and the stain should be completely gone!
