Using an old toothbrush and some soap and water can do wonders in removing wine stains from your flip-flops. Simply mix a teaspoon of mild soap into a cup of warm water, and dip the toothbrush into the soapy mixture. Gently scrub at stained areas of the flip-flops for about 30 seconds, or until stains start to lighten up. Rinse the flip-flops off with cold water when done, and allow them to air dry completely before wearing.
Baking soda and vinegar make an effective cleaning solution for most clothing and footwear items, including flip-flops. To start, mix ½ cup of baking soda with enough white vinegar to make a thick paste. Spread the paste over the wine stains, and work it in with an old toothbrush. Leave the paste on the flip-flops for 20-30 minutes, then rinse off with cold water. Let the flip-flops air dry before wearing.
If the above methods don't work, you can try using a commercial stain remover. Be sure to read the instructions before using, and spot test the remover on an inconspicuous area of the flip-flops first. Rub stain remover onto the affected areas with a clean cloth, then rinse off with cold water. Allow the flip-flops to air dry before wearing.
