How do you remove wine stains from a tablecloth? I washed it once already is it too late?

Answer 1

This is absolutely foolproof for any laundered items! Mix Dawn dishwashing liquid soap with hydrogen peroxide...then pour on the stain and let sit as a presoak. Neither of these ingredients works by itself. You must use BOTH. You'll actually see the red wine disappear as you drizzle the mixture on a stain! I have used it to take major red wine stains out of ALL clothing and table cloths (regardless of the color of the item). I have used it on old dried stains and stains that were laundered, bleached and subsequently turned "yellow". OLD, old stains have been successfully removed. Just make sure the soap/peroxide mixture is relatively fresh. I used some the other day that was a few months old (I keep a bottle on my washing machine and pre-treat clothes as I see them coming through on wash day) and it did not remove a particularly large stain completely.

The T-shirt went through the washer and dryer before I realized that my mixture had "weakened". I mixed up a new batch and the second time around was PERFECT! You'll be amazed. (side note: the peroxide will turn the blue dishwashing liquid to a clear color--that does not reduce its effectiveness!) With this mixture there is NO NEED for any bleach even on the whitest of whites! Keep on drinking that tasty red wine with confidence! This is so effective that we have become absolutely careless about spilling wine..

Answer 2

the best way to remove red wine stains from all most anything is pour white wine on top .You say you have washed it already ,as long as you have´t used bleach it should come out just soak the part off the table cloth in white wine. make sure it all comes out before washing it again use cold water to rinse. If you have some old fashioned soap bar , rub with this once the stain is out . in cold water leave free from water for 1/2 hr then cold water again to rinse . wash on a normal temp then hang outside in the sun

Answer 4

I have a great book with all the tough stains in it and ways to get them out. This is what it says for wine: By the way i've used the methods in my book for grease on a brand new rug, pen on a white shirt, and it really worked.
1. Presoak immediately in cold water, then with cold water and glycerine.
2. Rinse with vinegar for a few seconds if stain remains. These stains may turn brown with age.
3. If it still remains, rub with concentrated detergent. Wait 15 minutes & then rinse. Repeat if necessary.
4. Wash with detergent in hottest water safe for fabric.

Good luck!! And I hope you know what glycerine is b/c I don't!!

Answer 5

I know this is gonna sound crazy but, I saw on RR show about a month ago (maybe more) that white wine removes red wine. If that doesn't work, I swear by Oxyclean. It removes virtually everything.

Answer 6

it may be to late now that you've washed it, but for future reference, as soon as you spill something thats likely to stain, pour table salt on it, it soaks up the spillage, then lift the salt

Answer 7
