Step One: Blot Immediately
The most important step to eliminate a white wine stain from your midi dress is to blot it up immediately. Use a paper towel or an absorbent cloth to remove as much of liquid as possible. Don’t rub. Rubbing will only spread the stain over a larger area.
Step Two: Dilute With Cold Water
After blotting, run cold water over the spot to further dilute the wine. Again, don’t rub as it may spread the stain.
Step Three: Soak In Detergent & Water
Soak your midi dress in a mixture of 1 tablespoon detergent and 1 quart cold water. Let the dress sit for 15-30 minutes before washing. This will help the stain break apart and prevent it from setting deeper into the fabric.
Step Four: Wash On Gentle Cycle
Once the stain has been soaked in the detergent solution, put your dress into the washing machine and wash on a gentle cycle. Be sure to use cold water only and don’t add any bleach or fabric softener.
Step Five: Check Before Drying
Before putting the dress in the dryer, check to see if the stain has been removed. If the stain is still present, repeat steps 2-4 until it is gone.
Step Six: Air Dry
Once all the stains are gone, air dry your midi dress to prevent any shrinkage. Do not put it in the dryer.
Additional Tips
- If the stain is still visible after washing, try applying white vinegar to stained area and then rinse with cold water.
- If the stain is still not removed, try soaking in a solution of hydrogen peroxide and cold water.
- Avoid using heat as it will set the stain into the fabric.
