Materials Needed
- White Vinegar
- Baking Soda
- Dishwashing Liquid
- Dry Cloth
Step 1: Soak Up the Stain
As soon as possible, grab a dry cloth and blot up as much of the white wine stain as you can. Try not to rub the stain in, as this will only cause it to spread and set. Try blotting gently in circular motions.
Step 2: Make a Paste
Mix together equal parts white vinegar and baking soda to create a thick paste. Spread the paste over the stain and work it into the fabric using your fingers. Let the paste sit for 10-15 minutes.
Step 3: Rinse with Cold Water
Thoroughly rinse the area with cold water. Blot away any excess moisture with a paper towel. The stain should be significantly lighter or even gone completely.
Step 4: Pretreat with Dishwashing Liquid
If the stain is still lingering, apply a small amount of dishwashing liquid directly to the stained area. Rub the liquid into the fabric in a circular motion and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then, rinse area thoroughly with cold water again.
Step 5: Launder as Usual
Once the stain is gone, launder the skirt as usual according to the fabric care instructions. Air-dry the skirt, looking for any signs of the stain returning.
