As soon as you spill the wine, take a paper towel or napkin and blot the spot to remove as much of the stain as possible. Do not rub fabric, as this can cause stain to spread.
Mix one part colorless dishwashing liquid with two parts cold water and gently apply it to stained area with a clean cloth. Gently dab stained area to form a lather. Do not scrub, as this can damage the fabric.
Rinse the stained area with cold water until all soap is gone.
Fill a bowl with 3-4 tablespoons of salt and cold water, enough to cover the stained area. Soak the stained area of the scarf in the solution for up to 30 minutes.
Remove the scarf from the salt solution and rinse in cold water. Follow fabric's washing instructions to wash the scarf. Hang or lay flat to dry.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
