Remove a Red Wine Stain

Steps

1. 01Blot — never rub — the spill with a clean white cloth, lifting wine off, not in.
2. 02Sprinkle salt or baking soda generously over the wet stain. Both pull liquid up.
3. 03Wait 5 minutes. Brush off the now-pink salt.
4. 04If on fabric: pour cool water through the back of the stain into a bowl until water runs clear.
5. 05Apply a paste of dish soap and hydrogen peroxide (1:2). Let sit 30 minutes.
6. 06Launder as usual in cold water. Air dry — never put a stained item in the dryer until certain it's gone.
