If you recently spilled some red wine on your swimwear and are feeling a bit panicked, don't worry - there are a few ways you can clean it. Before trying any of these methods, make sure to check care instructions on the label, as that will let you know if the swimwear is safe to machine wash or if you should hand-wash it instead. Here's what to do:
Removing Red Wine from Swimwear with Dish Soap
The easiest way to remove a red wine stain from swimwear is with dish soap. To start, mix one teaspoon of dish soap with two cups of cold water. Then, apply the solution directly to the stained area and let it sit for a minute or two. After fabric has soaked, take an old toothbrush or scrub brush and gently scrub the stain. Once the stain starts to lift, rinse the swimwear in cold water and repeat the process until the stain is gone. After you've finished cleaning, lay the swimwear flat to air dry.
Removing Red Wine from Swimwear with White Vinegar
If dish soap method doesn't work, you can try using white vinegar instead. To start, mix two tablespoons of white vinegar with two cups of cold water and use this to soak the stained area for 15-20 minutes. Once fabric has soaked, gently rub the spot with an old toothbrush or something similar. Once the stain has lightened up, rinse the fabric and check to see if the stain is still there. If the stain is still visible, repeat the process until it is fully removed.
Conclusion
Red wine stains don't have to ruin your swimwear. With a little patience and the right products, you can get the stain out in no time. Just make sure to check care instructions on the label before getting started.
