Can't Get Out Red Wine Stain
I got red wine on some pale pink pants Sat. and haven't had any luck getting the stain out. I have not dried the pants, knowing that would then set it. Any advice of specific detergent that might help me get this out, even thought it happened a handful of days ago? Thanks!

Have you tried any stain removers, such as Shout Advanced Gel(its for set in stains) or Carbona? Carbona has a specific one for things like wine. You can find both of these at any grocery store or WalMart, Target, etc. Good luck!

I've used ginger ale or tonic water in the past (not sure which it was...it's been too long). I would suggest taking the item to a dry cleaner even if it's not dry clean only...they can do wonders with stains. I've also made a paste of oxi-clean and let is sit on the stain...it was a white shirt and got most of the stain out, but there was some residue left (I just bleached it to get the rest out since it was white). Good luck and let us know if you find anything that worked!

HI. If you haven't tried it yet, try shout GEL. You put it on and then let it sit for a couple of days (up to a week). I have never had it not take out anything except for dried in ink. Good luck!

G.,
I would recommend Shaklee's Nature Bright Laundry Booster & Stain Remover. It's a powder that you dissolve in warm water. To remove a stain such a red wine, I recommend soaking the garment in this solution. It may take several days, or the stain may come out sooner. But I'm sure it will take out the stain. I have had excellent success with this product in removing quite a few different stains.
A friend of mine removed red wine stains from a table cloth with Nature Bright.

I worked at a winery for awhile and we used this spray called Wine Out (I think that's the name). People would always spilling red wine and it works like a charm, even on white. You could probably get it wherever they sell wine. I know for a fact that the Chadds Ford WInery in PA on Rt. 1 sells it. Good Luck.

I spilled red wine on something years ago and I remember we immediately soaked it in white wine and it worked!
Good luck!

Have you tried soaking them in OxyClean? It seems to get out poop and baby spit up, so why not red wine?
