What You’ll Need
- White vinegar
- Bleach (if applicable)
- Laundry detergent
- Sponge
- Toothbrush
- Distilled water
Instructions
- Start by treating the stain as soon as possible. Use a paper towel or cloth to blot the excess wine from the tights. Do not rub as this will spread the stain.
- Mix together one part white vinegar to one part distilled water. Soak a sponge in the solution and apply it directly to the stained area.
- Continue to dab at the stain until it starts to lift. If it's still there, you can add a small amount of laundry detergent to the solution and try again.
- Once stain is gone, rinse the tights with cold water. If the stain has not completely disappeared, you can repeat the process with bleach.
- Finally, machine wash the tights on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Allow them to air dry and admire your handiwork!
Tips
- If you don't have white vinegar, you can use lemon juice instead.
- Rubbing alcohol can also be used to treat stubborn wine stains.
- If the wine stain is especially tough, use a toothbrush to scrub the area gently.
- Always read the care label before you start washing and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
