Start by making a paste out of baking soda and water. Dip a toothbrush or soft-bristled brush into the mixture and add a few drops of cold water, then apply the paste to the stain. Let the paste sit overnight before washing the cloth normally.
Another way to remove white wine stains is to soak them in white vinegar. Simply fill a bowl with enough cold water to cover the stain, then add two tablespoons of white vinegar for every cup of water. Soak affected area for up to half an hour. Rinse the silk garment with cold water afterwards.
If the stain is still visible, try applying hydrogen peroxide. To do this, mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide and cold water, then use a sponge or rag to blot the stain. Be sure to blot gently and keep the liquid away from other parts of the fabric. Rinse the silk with cold water after blotting and repeating the process if necessary.
White wine stains can be a nightmare to get out of silk fabrics, but with these easy tips, you should be able to remove them without damaging your clothing. Remember to always test any cleaning method on a small part of the garment first to ensure it won’t cause any damage.
