Step 1: Act Quickly and Blot Stain
If you happen to spill red wine on your sleep shirt, act quickly! Start blotting the stain immediately with a clean white cloth or paper towel. Blotting is the best way to remove the stain without pushing it further into the fabric. Continue to blot until the stain is no longer visible.
Step 2: Pretreat Stain with a Detergent
Next, pretreat the stain with a mild detergent and warm water. Apply the detergent directly onto the stain and then gently massage it into the fabric. Let the detergent sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off with cold water. Don't rub the fabric too hard, as this could cause the stain to spread.
Step 3: Launder the Shirt
Once the detergent has been rinsed off, launder the shirt as you normally would in the washing machine with cold water. Do not add any other items of clothing to wash, as red wine could transfer to them. If the stain remains after laundering, repeat steps one and two, and then launder the shirt again.
Step 4: Remove Stubborn Stains with Vinegar
In some cases, a stubborn red wine stain may remain even after laundering. To remove the stubborn stain, mix one part white vinegar and one part cold water. Dip a white cloth into the solution, and then dab the stained area until the stain is gone. Rinse the area with cold water, and then dry the shirt as normal.
Conclusion
Removing red wine stains from your sleep shirt is simple! By following these steps, you can easily get rid of any unwanted messes. Make sure to act quickly and pre-treat the stain before laundering and you’ll be good to go!
