The essence of removing wine stains is:
- Don’t let the spill dry if possible
- Use cleaning agents that won’t also stain or injure the cloth
In this video below, skip the bleach part if the cloth is any color other than white. Video: Removing red wine stains from white clothes
In our opinion, the best commercial product to remove a red wine stain is StainRx®. The next best is OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover Powder. But more about wine stains later.
Please remember that the longer a stain remains on cloth and the longer it drys, the harder it is to get the stain out. For fresh spills on clothing, recommend cold water on the stain until the clothing can be removed and the stain treated at home. It helps if the stain remains wet and not dried out.
