Eliminate Red Wine Stains from Stockings in No Time

Red wine stains on stockings can be difficult to remove. Fortunately, with the right supplies and method, you can clean them off in no time.

When your stockings take a spill of red wine, don't panic! There are some simple steps you can take to get rid of the stain. Here's what to do:

• Blot the stained area with a paper towel to soak up as much wine as possible.
• Mix one teaspoon of liquid dishwashing detergent with two cups of cold water.
• Soak the stained area of the stocking in soapy water.
• Scrub the stained area gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
• Rinse out the detergent with cold water.
• If any stain remains, mix 2 tablespoons of white vinegar with 1 cup of warm water, then soak the stained area for 30 minutes.
• Rinse with cold water.
• Sponge area with rubbing alcohol and blot the excess moisture away with a tissue.
• Allow the stockings to air dry.

If the red wine stain persists, try using a commercial wash designed to remove laundry stains. Follow the directions on the package. If all else fails, it may be time to relegate those stockings to the rag bin.
