What is the best way to get a red wine stain out of a white shirt?

Question

I was at a New Year's party and someone bumped into me, spilling a red wine I was drinking onto the cuff of my white button down shirt. Luckily it didn't get many other places aside from a drop on the front of the shirt.

Immediately after it happened, I got some seltzer water from the bar tender and tried to get as much out as possible but the stain is still noticeable.

Answer 1

OXYCLEAN!

It works!

Either that or bluing (If you can still find it?) it brightens and cleans whites without causing the yellowing that bleach can.

Answer 2

Salt and white wine are supposed to help red wine stains but I think you need to put that on when the spill happens. White wine is magic though - the red spill just disappears!

Answer 3

if you wet and spray the stain with hair-spray and put it in the freezer
for a while, it will lift the stain, then you could use a bleach pen to clean it , a dry cleaner could also help you out with it , as long as you can pay the bill



bleach works, but if you over bleach it or let it sit too long , the shirt will turn a sickly looking yellow

Answer 4

My wife had the same problem while we were at our friends, They felt so bad that they washed the shirt. Saturated the area with a peroxide cleaner and then just placed it in a load of whites with bleach. The whole sleeve came clean. The bad part, didn't know that I had gotten a bit on me, and washed and dried my shirt before seeing it.

Answer 5

clorox bleach, but you should have soaked it in cold water immediately or used sprite or tonic water so it would not have set in.

Answer 6

buy a new one you tight ***, by the look of it that shirt didn't cost more than £5

Answer 7

bleach

Answer 8
