Accidentally spilled red wine on a white blouse and even though it's been washed there is still a slight stain. Any home remedies to recommend?

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think you are stuck. Usually if you spill red wine on anything, you have to act quick! Using soda water really helps and then immediately put some kind of stain treatment on it and wash right-a-way. Since it has already been washed and I assume dried… the stain is in there. Go ahead and try other remedies… it might make you feel better but I think you white shirt has now become a "mess-a-round" shirt.

    Salt and white wine are supposed to help red wine stains but I think you need to put that on when the spill happens. White wine is magic though – the red spill just disappears!

    I'd say its gonna be hard, since you have already washed it, its probably set in…but use this oxi clean from walmart on stains…it works really good…just spray a little on, kinda scrub, spray some more and let sit, then wash… hope this helps, good luck!

    No home remedies that I can think of, but I suggest the Clorox Bleach pen, or next time a spill happens, clean it up right away with cold water.

    Clorox always works. I've done it before.

    The first thing you should have done (I think) is used club soda. But now since you've washed it, maybe you should just use straight up bleach.

    Try scrubbing with Ginger- Ale, or 7- Up
