Step 1: Blot Up Any Excess Wine

When you notice a wine stain on your work clothes, the first thing you should do is blot up any excess liquid. Use an absorbent cloth or paper towel to gently press against the stain, without rubbing it in further. This will help prevent the stain from spreading and make it easier to clean.

Step 2: Treat the Stain with Detergent

Once you’ve blotted away any excess liquid, it’s time to treat the stain with a detergent. Start by dampening a cloth with cold water and then add a few drops of your preferred detergent. Gently dab the cloth onto the stain and let the detergent sit there for 5-10 minutes. This will help to break down the stain and make it easier to remove.

Step 3: Wash and Dry as Usual

The final step is to wash and dry the garment as you usually would. It is important to use cold water when washing, as hot water can cause the stain to set in and become even more difficult to remove. Once item is dry, check the spot to make sure the stain has been completely removed before wearing.
