How to Remove Wine Stains from Clothes 🍷🧼
Expert Tips to Save Your Favorite Garments
Spilled red wine on your favorite shirt? 🍷 Don’t panic—wine stains are common, but they’re treatable with the right technique and timing. Whether it’s a white blouse, a formal dress, or a linen tablecloth, acting fast is key to saving your fabric.
At Eric’s Specialty Cleaners, we treat wine stains on all types of garments—from delicate silks to crisp cottons—with safe, professional cleaning methods. Here’s what you can do at home (and when to bring it to the experts).
✅ Step-by-Step: How to Remove Fresh Wine Stains at Home
🕒 1. Act Quickly
The sooner you treat the stain, the better. Once wine dries, it becomes much harder to remove.
🧻 2. Blot, Don’t Rub
Use a clean cloth or paper towel to blot the stain gently.
🚫 Never rub—it pushes the wine deeper into the fabric fibers.
🧂 3. Apply Salt (Optional for Red Wine)
If you’re out at a restaurant or don’t have access to cleaners, pour salt over the stain.
Salt absorbs the wine and can prevent it from setting until you can wash it properly.
💧 4. Flush with Cold Water
Run cold water through the back of the stain to push the wine out of the fabric.
Avoid warm or hot water—it can set the stain.
🧼 5. Use a Mild Detergent or Stain Remover
Apply a gentle stain remover or diluted liquid detergent, and let it sit for 5–10 minutes before rinsing again.
🧠 Pro Tip: For white fabrics, you can try a solution of hydrogen peroxide + baking soda—but always test it first on a small, hidden area!
⚠️ When to Bring Wine-Stained Clothes to a Professional
Some fabrics need expert handling:
- Silk, wool, cashmere
- Formal dresses or suits
- Garments with embroidery or beads
- Set-in or dried wine stains
In these cases, don’t attempt home cleaning—bring the garment straight to a dry cleaner.
