To clean red wine spills on your tablecloth, attack the stain as soon as possible. Blot the area with paper towels to absorb the excess liquid and finish your meal. Once your guests leave, soak the area in cool water if not washing immediately. Pre-treat the area with a home stain removal product, household vinegar or wine remover, which can be purchased at home bedding stores. Machine wash on gentle in the warmest water possible for the color. If traces of the stain remain, treat the area with 3% hydrogen peroxide, if it is safe for the fabric and the color. Please do not follow the old wives tales about using white wine or table salt to remove red wine stains, because they do not work and can cause additional problems. Also, if your tablecloth is an heirloom or antique, you may want to take it to a professional cleaner.

Wine Away is a cleaner for red wine stains. I saw it this weekend at a winery.

Oxy Clean would be the best thing to use, if you use any type of bleach more than likely its going to ruin the table cloth.
