Can I use hot water to remove white wine stains?

No, hot water should never be used to remove white wine stains from maxi dresses. Hot water can cause the wine stain to set deeper into the fibers of the fabric, making it more difficult to remove.

Will this method work on other fabrics?

Yes, this method should work for most fabrics. Just be sure to test any pre-treatment solutions or detergents on a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric first.

Pre-Treatment Steps

First, rinse the stained area with cold water as soon as possible after the spill occurs.
If needed, apply a pre-treatment solution such as a laundry detergent specifically formulated for removing stains.
After applying the pre-treatment, allow it to sit for a few minutes before proceeding to the next step.

Treating the Stain

Fill a sink or bucket with lukewarm water and a few drops of a gentle laundry detergent.
Submerge the stained area of the maxi dress and let it soak for 30 minutes.
Gently rub the stained area with a clean cloth or soft brush.
Rinse the area with cool water.

Post-Treatment Care

To prevent fading or discoloration of fabric, add a color-safe bleach to final rinse cycle in the washing machine.
Allow the dress to air dry rather than using a clothes dryer.
If necessary, repeat the above steps until the stain is completely gone.
