- If the stain persists, pour a few drops of liquid dish soap over the stain and scrub it gently with a clean white cloth.
- Cover the stained area with a piece of adhesive tape and press down on the fabric. The tape should absorb the red wine stain from your shirt.
- If the stain doesn't come off completely, try using a cleaning detergent or an enzyme pre-treater. Soak the garment in warm water for about 30 minutes with the detergent before washing it in the washing machine.
