Removal of Red Wine Stains Using Salt and Detergent

 Salt is a common thing present in every household.

The following method deploys these simple ingredients to effectively get rid of these annoying stains.

Things that you will require:

·      Salt

·      Liquid laundry detergent

·      Stain remover

·      Clean white cloth

Steps that you need to take:

1.    The best way of treating a red wine stain is to treat it as soon as possible. Place your stained garment under cold water and try to flush off the maximum stain. Pouring water through the back of the stain is better than pouring it through the front.

2.   After flushing the stain with cold water, blot the stained area with a clean cloth so that any remaining stain can be wiped away.

3.   Take some salt and sprinkle it on the stain. Salt is a good absorbent and can absorb the remaining red wine from the stain, therefore allow this salt to sit in the stain for 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse the stained area again, rubbing it gently between your fingers.

4.   Later, pour some liquid laundry detergent onto the red wine stain to complete this cleaning procedure. Allow this liquid detergent to set in the stain for some time, approximately 3 to 5 minutes and then rinse it with cold water once again.

5.   White clothes are prone to getting stained and removal of such stains tends to be difficult. Therefore treating the fabric lastly with stain remover stick or gel can prove to be very effective.

6.   Ultimately, rinse the fabric again and make sure that the stain is gone before putting the garment into dryer.

Tip:

White clothes can also be treated with chlorine or oxygenated bleach to get out any red wine stains.
