Tips for stain removal
Red wine:
White wine, sherry or clear
alcohol can all be used to attack a red wine
stain, however the best remedy is simply a
large pinch of salt. If possible, you should
rinse the stain out straight away and, before
placing in the washing machine, soak
the area with a dash of lemon juice. If the
stain doesn’t vanish in the wash, try using
glycerine. Don’t use salt or white wine on
velvet or silk, as they only respond well to
corn flour or potato flour. Dilute ammonia
solution, cream of tartar or spirits can be
used to tackle stubborn red wine stains.
Bleach can also be used on red wine stains.
Tip:
