Hi, I’m Farley again talking about wine. It is often the case when drinking wine we get some spills and then you are left with a red wine stain and you want to know what to do with that. There are a few options. There are commercial products in the market such as oxiclean that works very well or even some that are geared specifically towards wine stains. If you don’t have access to those products there are a few other options as to how to remove a stain. The first stain white wine so you would take a little bit of white wine, pour it on to the stain especially when the stain is fresh tends to work really well. Then just kind of rub it in and it will come out. Another thing that you can do is to use just your basic table salt. Take a little bit put it on the stain, work it in. You are going to have to use quite a bit of salt to get this out and it will eventually start to come out as it is doing now. But the other thing I like to use that I find very effective is a combination of Dawn or any other liquid detergent. Pour into a container and with that you are going to mix hydrogen peroxide. Mix it up, got equal parts. Start to work it into the stain. The stain is rather large. Obviously this is not going to take it out all the way but once you put it into the wash it is going to make it easier to get out. You can see this one section where I have done and it is starting to fade. Anyway, you fill the line. These are just a few options for getting the stain out.
