It happens in a split of a second and you ruin your favourite dress, but do not worry these things happen every time and to everyone. Oh, the wine stain? do not worry my friend there always a way to go around it. Follow my lead.
What You Need
- clean white cotton cloth
- bowl
- table salt
- pot holder
- boiling water
Follow These Steps
1.Blot, don’t rub.
Dab at the red wine stain with a damp, white cotton cloth to absorb any excess wine. (Rubbing is the wrong move because it will actually set the stain.)
2. Pull the fabric taut.
Slide a bowl under the fabric, centering the stain over the bowl. Secure with a large rubber band.
3. Sprinkle salt.
Coat the stain with a generous amount of salt and let sit for at least five minutes to allow the salt to start absorbing the liquid. Keep in mind: The sooner salt is applied, the easier it will be to lift the stain.
4. Add boiling water.
Slowly—and carefully—pour boiling water over the stain from a height of at least eight inches. (Pouring from this height gives you enough force to flush out the stain.)
After all this you can now wash your garment, however, you must ensure that the stain is completely removed before washing it.
