How do I quickly remove white wine stains from my mattress?

Quickly blot the stain with a dry cloth or paper towel and then sprinkle baking soda over the area. Mix together some vinegar and detergent and then rub the mixture into the stain. Finally, use a damp cloth and cold water to wash the area, letting it air dry before making the bed.

What else can I do to ensure that the white wine stain is gone?

Be sure to test any cleaning solution prior to using it on a larger area. If possible, try to move the mattress outside during the drying process and make sure that there is plenty of airflow. If the stain persists, you can try a more aggressive solution such as hydrogen peroxide and blotching the area.

Step 1: Blotting the Stain

The quicker you act, the better off you will be when dealing with white wine stains. Take a dry cloth or paper towel and quickly dab up as much of the wine as you can. Do not rub area as this will only cause wine to spread.

Step 2: Apply Baking Soda

Once you have removed as much wine as possible, sprinkle baking soda over the area. This will help dry out what is left and also help lift away any lingering stains. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes before vacuuming up or wiping away with a damp cloth.

Step 3: Apply Vinegar & Detergent to the Stain

Mix together a small amount of vinegar and detergent in a bowl. Use a brush or cloth to rub the mixture into the area. The vinegar is an acid that can help break down the stain while the detergent helps to lift away any mess. Once the area looks clean, you can use another damp cloth to gently wipe away the residue.

Step 4: Washing with Water

Finally, use a damp cloth and cold water to wash the entire area. Allow the area to air dry before you make your bed. You may need to repeat these steps until the stain is completely gone.
