i accidentally spilled wine on my shirt. i put it in the sink,but not to wash it. i was washing my hands and the sink filled up with water and soaked the shirt…
when i got to actually washing the shirt, i couldn’t find the stains.
do i have to do anything else to it,or do i just wash as usual?
i blotted the stains right after it was spilled…

    problem solved. just wash as usual.

    for the future if you spill red wine on anything sprinkle it immediately with mobs of salt, works well particularly say on a tablecloth and then you just wash as normal.

    Sounds as if you’ve solved the problem by yourself. Just wash the shirt as normal. It should be fine.

    There are some stains you hardly have to worry about right away and then there are those that need to be taken care of right away. Red wine stains would be in the latter category. From painstakingly washing the fabric by hand to simply tossing it into the washing machine, effective methods are available for getting rid of those dreadful red wine stains.

    Step 1

    Blot the stain immediately with paper towels. If it is a dry clean only garment do not pretreat the stain and get it as fast as you can to the cleaners. Pretreatment of the stain can cause irreversible damage and the dry cleaner may not be able to remove the stain.

    Step 2

    Combine 1 teaspoon laundry soap or pretreatment (or dish soap, like Dawn) and 1 cup hydrogen peroxide in a small bowl. Soak a clean sponge in the mixture, squeeze it halfway dry, then gently blot the stain.

    Step 3

    Place a dry towel or washcloth between the front and back of the garment if the stain has not penetrated through to the back of the fabric. This will prevent staining on the back of the material.

    Step 4

    Review the washing instructions on the label of the fabric. Heed any special care instructions.

    Step 5

    Wash in cool water and air dry if the fabric is machine-washable.

    Step 6

    Wash gently in the sink with a mild detergent if the fabric is hand-wash only.

    eeek!

    oh no, not warm water!

    Remember the golden rules

    cold water for red stains (with some white vinigar for wine)

    warm water for oils! (such as cheese or pesto)

    that stain may be permenant now, but also try using a enviro friendly upholstery cleaner if all stain removers fail (such as orange power) – wash seperatly and rinse twice!
