Step 1: Act Fast

Time is of the essence when it comes to removing red wine from Ralph Lauren fabrics. As soon as you spill the wine, blot the stain with a cloth or paper towel before taking further steps to clean it.

Step 2: Determine What Kind of Fabric You’re Dealing With

Before moving forward with cleaning the stain, it’s important to determine what type of fabric you’re working with. If you’re dealing with a natural fabric like cotton or wool, use warm water and detergent to pre-treat the stain. For synthetic fabrics like polyester or nylon, use cold water and a gentle detergent.

Step 3: Pretreat the Stain

Once you’ve determined what kind of fabric you’re working with, pre-treat stain with warm or cold water and detergent. You may also want to use a stain remover for tougher stains. Rub fabric together to work the solution into the fibers, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.

Step 4: Wash the Fabric

Wash the fabric using hot, warm, or cold water setting on the washing machine. Add a capful of detergent to the wash, and use a chlorine or oxygen bleach if necessary. Allow fabric to air dry or use a low-heat spin cycle in the dryer.
