First we need to to mix up a cleaning solution formulated for wine stains, which is 1/2 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon white household vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of Dawn dishwashing detergent. Mix all of the ingredients together and apply to the wine stained area. Allow to this formula to penetrate the stain for 15 minutes and then wash your garment following the instructions on the label.
After the wash cycle is completed, check to see if the wine stain has been removed. If not, apply the wine removing solution again and rewash your garment. Do not use heat to dry your garment until the stain has been completely removed.
If traces of the red wine remain after the second treatment, apply a small amount of 3% hydrogen peroxide (available in the first aid section of your local pharmacy or grocery store) to the stained area. Allow about 15 minutes for the peroxide to work and then wash again. This should take out all traces of the red wine stain. Once the stain is removed, you can dry your garment using a clothes dryer.
