How can I get a red wine stain out of a woollen jumper?

Question

It's been there for about a month (I didn't know about it). I've tried washing it but it didn't come out.

Answer 1

hate to say this but i think its too late. wool is not an easy thing to get stains out of especially long after the event.

but a professional cleaner will help you with advise at the very least. good luck.

Answer 2

Put kitchen roll under the jumper, add white wine, seriously, then kitchen roll on top to absorb the moisture, this should dilute the redness. Then use Vanish, apply direct to the jumer, leave and then handwash.

One of the most important thing is not to rub the stain, just dab

Good luck

Answer 3

White wine should do the trick ,it´s much about the same when you spill red wine on your carpet , pour a little white wine then absorb with kitchen roll or a muslin cloth

Answer 4

This normally works if its fresh but you can try it anyway....buy a cheap bottle of soda water and soak it in that for a day. If that doesnt work and its a white jumper you might have to bleach it, otherwise die it red :)

Answer 5

why not dye the jumper to match the stain

Answer 6

Use some of that oxyclean or vanish stain remover, works everytime for me. Brilliant stuff.

Answer 7

Try with vinegar... Sounds crazy but maybe will help? The stain is there too long....

Answer 8
