How to treat a red wine stain before it sets

Act in the first ten minutes and most red wine stains lift cleanly. Here is the routine our stain team uses.

The Laundry Wash team

Hands carefully mending a piece of fabric

Blot first, never rub

The moment wine lands on fabric, press a clean white cloth onto the spot and lift. Rubbing pushes the pigment deeper into the fibers and spreads the mark. Keep swapping to a dry part of the cloth until it stops picking up color.

If the spill is on a table or cushion, work from the outside edge toward the center so the stain does not grow.

Cold water, then a gentle treatment

Flush the back of the fabric with cold water. Hot water can lock the color in for good. Dab a little mild detergent onto the stain, wait five minutes, then rinse again.

When to bring it to us

Silk, wool and anything labeled dry clean only should not be soaked at home. Blot what you can, skip the water, and drop it off. Tell us what spilled and when, because it helps us choose the right treatment.
