Step 1: Pre-treat with laundry detergent
Start by applying a pre-treater such as liquid laundry detergent to stained area. Allow it to work its magic for up to 15 minutes before you proceed to next step. This should help break down the stain and make it easier to remove.
Step 2: Rinse and rub
Rinse your sports bra under cold water and rub stained area gently, using your fingers to help loosen the stain. This method should help get rid of the majority of wine stain.
Step 3: Soak in hot water
After rinsing and rubbing your sports bra, it is best to fill a sink or basin with hot water and soak the garment for up to 30 minutes. This will help any remaining stain fade away. Once you take it out of hot water, it is time to move on to the next step.
Step 4: Wash in the washing machine
Once the garment has finished soaking, it is time to wash it in the washing machine. Use gentle cycle and hottest temperature setting that your sports bra can tolerate. To be safe, use a mild detergent. When the cycle is finished, take the sports bra out and let it air dry.
All done!
You’ve now successfully removed the wine stain from your sports bra. Stain removal can be tricky, so if the stain still remains after following these steps, it may be worthwhile to consult a professional cleaner.
