HOW TO GET DRIED RED WINE STAINS OUT
Getting rid of
red wine
 stains is a common problem to face after hosting a lunch or dinner at home. Who hasnât spilled a glass or two? Plus,
red wine has a âbad reputationâ for being impossible to get out
.
Though at El Coto weâre firm believers in all thoseÂ
âIndelible memoriesâ
, we have to admit that there is a solution for red wine stains!
Weâll tell you
how to get rid of them using various household solutions
and what to do depending on where the contents of your glass ended up unexpectedly.
HOW TO GET RID OF RED WINE STAINS WITH HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS
The most important thing here is
time
. What does that mean? The faster you get to it, the greater your chances to getting the stain out completely. Try not to let it dry! If it has, though, donât worry! Weâll also look at
options to get rid of a dried red wine stain
.
1. Milk
Milk can be a great option and something everyone has on hand at home. It has to be animal milk though; plant-based milks wonât have the same effect because they have less fat and other ingredients.
Milk is great at getting rid of red wine stains
, or ink stains, among other things.
How do you apply it?
First, get a clean cloth. Dip it in the milk and dab it onto the stain.Â
Try not to rub it
. You could just end up spreading the stain. Then, as soon as possible, put the stained item in the washing machine and wash it as you normally would. No need for hot water.
Perfect trick for...
Clothing that isnât too delicate and can be machine washed.
2. BICARBONATE OF SODA
Bicarb isnât as common as milk, but if you have some around the house itâs another
good option for getting rid of a red wine stain
.
The sodium in bicarb attracts and traps wine particles when they are still wet. So, as we said before, itâs best to apply it as quickly as possible.
How do you apply it?
Put a glass of water and half a glass of bicarb into a container. Stir well and pour it onto the stain. Let it sit
until it dries on the stain
. Then brush it off, or hoover it up off a carpet, and wash with soap and water.
Put a glass of water and half a glass of bicarb into a container. Stir well and pour it onto the stain. Let it sit
until it dries on the stain
. Then brush it off, or hoover it up off a carpet, and wash with soap and water.
Perfect trick for...
Any item:Â
sofa, carpet, tablecloth or even less delicate garments.
3. SALT: A CLASSIC FOR GETTING OUT RED WINE STAINS!
Salt is one of the tricks most people already know, since it is highly absorbent. On its own, it probably wonât solve your wine stain issue 100%. But
it could help considerably reduce it and keep it from spreading in the beginning
.
How do you apply it?
Get rid of as much wine as you can with kitchen roll (no rubbing!) and pour the salt right onto the stain. Then
leave it for 3-5 minutes
. Donât leave it any longer because you could end up with the opposite effect, helping set the stain! Then brush it off and youâll see most, if not all, of the stain has disappeared. Finish washing with soap and water.
Perfect trick for...
Tablecloths and carpets.
4. LIQUID DETERGENT WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
This is a quick, effective solution that most of us have at home to easily
get rid of wine stains
.
How do you apply it?
In a container, mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide and liquid detergent. Put the mixture onto the stain and rub gently. Then let it sit. Afterwards, wash normally.
Perfect trick for...
All sorts of clothing, but only light colours. The hydrogen peroxide can bleach darks.
OTHER OPTIONS TO REMOVE RED WINE STAINS
-White wine
Did you know white wine can help you get out a red wine stain? Get a cloth, dip it in white wine and dab at the red wine stain. Leave it for a few minutes and then wash with soap and water.
- Boiling water
This is perfect if the red wine ended up on the tablecloth. Stretch it out as much as possible, with the stain visible. Then pour on boiling water. Watch the stain disappear!
- Stain removers
You can also use special stain removers, but you have to be careful when you apply them. Read the instructions carefully, and the tags on the clothing, sofa, carpet or other fabric, too.
HOW TO GET DRIED RED WINE STAINS OUT
If you didnât make it in time to
get out the damp red wine stain
and now itâs completely dried, donât worry! You still have options, but it might not look as good. Or it may take a bit more effort to get rid of it completely. Some of the tricks above also work on
dried red wine stains
, like bicarb and liquid detergent with hydrogen peroxide.
If youâve already washed the piece of clothing and the stain didnât come out, an easy household solution is to
put the fabric in milk that has just started boiling.
Move the fabric around once in a while but donât scrub the stain until you see it starting to disappear. Then rub it gently, even with your hands.
You can always use traditional stain removers, which may work. As we said, remember to read the labels on the fabrics and products.
We hope these tips have been helpful!

The sodium in bicarb attracts and traps wine particles when they are still wet. So, as we said before, itâs best to apply it as quickly as possible.
**How do you apply it?**
Put a glass of water and half a glass of bicarb into a container. Stir well and pour it onto the stain. Let it sit **until it dries on the stain**. Then brush it off, or hoover it up off a carpet, and wash with soap and water.

**Perfect trick for...**
Any item: **sofa, carpet, tablecloth or even less delicate garments.**


## 3\. SALT: A CLASSIC FOR GETTING OUT RED WINE STAINS\!
Salt is one of the tricks most people already know, since it is highly absorbent. On its own, it probably wonât solve your wine stain issue 100%. But **it could help considerably reduce it and keep it from spreading in the beginning**.
**How do you apply it?**
Get rid of as much wine as you can with kitchen roll (no rubbing!) and pour the salt right onto the stain. Then **leave it for 3-5 minutes**. Donât leave it any longer because you could end up with the opposite effect, helping set the stain! Then brush it off and youâll see most, if not all, of the stain has disappeared. Finish washing with soap and water.
**Perfect trick for...**
Tablecloths and carpets.
## 4\. LIQUID DETERGENT WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
This is a quick, effective solution that most of us have at home to easily **get rid of wine stains**.
**How do you apply it?**
In a container, mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide and liquid detergent. Put the mixture onto the stain and rub gently. Then let it sit. Afterwards, wash normally.
**Perfect trick for...**
All sorts of clothing, but only light colours. The hydrogen peroxide can bleach darks.

## OTHER OPTIONS TO REMOVE RED WINE STAINS
**\-White wine**
Did you know white wine can help you get out a red wine stain? Get a cloth, dip it in white wine and dab at the red wine stain. Leave it for a few minutes and then wash with soap and water.
**\- Boiling water**
This is perfect if the red wine ended up on the tablecloth. Stretch it out as much as possible, with the stain visible. Then pour on boiling water. Watch the stain disappear\!
**\- Stain removers**
You can also use special stain removers, but you have to be careful when you apply them. Read the instructions carefully, and the tags on the clothing, sofa, carpet or other fabric, too.

## HOW TO GET DRIED RED WINE STAINS OUT
If you didnât make it in time to **get out the damp red wine stain** and now itâs completely dried, donât worry! You still have options, but it might not look as good. Or it may take a bit more effort to get rid of it completely. Some of the tricks above also work on **dried red wine stains**, like bicarb and liquid detergent with hydrogen peroxide.
If youâve already washed the piece of clothing and the stain didnât come out, an easy household solution is to **put the fabric in milk that has just started boiling.** Move the fabric around once in a while but donât scrub the stain until you see it starting to disappear. Then rub it gently, even with your hands.
You can always use traditional stain removers, which may work. As we said, remember to read the labels on the fabrics and products.
