Removing Red Wine Stains from Tablecloth

August 30, 2011

Red Wine StainDo you need to get rid of wine stains? Or any other juice stains for that matter? This is a tried and true solution:

  1. Stretch stained fabric over a colander and place it in the sink.
  2. Advertisement

  3. Bring plain water to a boil.
  4. Hold the teapot or pan approximately 2 feet above the fabric and pour water onto the stain.

I know this sounds crazy, but it actually works like a stain eraser. No chemicals needed. This works on all types of juice stains. Try it!

For a red wine stain, place the cloth item over a large bowl so it is stretched over the rim. Boil water in a tea kettle and pour over the fabric from about a foot away. Keep the cloth item stretched tight so it doesn't go to the bottom of the bowl.

The best solution I've found for red wine stains is whole milk. I just soak the stain in milk and rinse with cool water.

Sometimes it takes more than one application and it won't work on old stains, but it usually works with fresh ones.

There are two things that work for me. You can pour white wine or club soda water on the spots that have the red wine, let it set for a bit and wash the tablecloth. Or if you can, hang the tablecloth out in the sunlight, it too helps to get rid of the stain.

The first solution for removing red wine stains is to always have white wine on hand. Dilute the spot with white wine, and then flush with cool water and apply salt.

I have a giant wine stain on my favorite tablecloth. It's a cotton table cloth with a floral pattern but it is pretty light so the stain will look really bad if I can't remove it.

I didn't really know how to treat it so I put it in a bucket of water to keep it wet. Does anyone have any tips for removing it? Thanks, Christine in CA

The best thing I have found removing red wine and other organic stains is OxiClean. It's colorsafe, just follow the label directions.

I had luck with hydrogen peroxide mixed with a small amount of liquid detergent. Let it sit for awhile (maybe 15 minutes), then wash.

I also removed a very old stain on my crushed velvet couch with this. Good luck
