OK, I'm bummed. Got a big red wine stain in my Willis & Geiger cotton
safari shirt while indulging in the grape after a day of hunting the mighty
trout. It has dried but has not been heat set. Anyone got that popular DIY
make-nuclear-weapons-from-common-household-items book that's all the rage on
PBS pledge drives? I've just got to get this stain out. And no! ...I don't
want to die my great-white-hunter shirt burgundy! It just won't go with my
pith helmet. ;)

I did this once on white carpet. Worked perfectly but will not guarantee
it. At a dinner party someone spilled a really large amount of red on the
carpet. I didn't notice it for hours. They did it on the 2nd floor. I
wasn't sure what to do, so I poured some white wine on it and then some
club soda. I didn't overdue the white wine or club soda. I did not want the
stain to spread. It all dabbed up perfectly the next morning. There was no
stain or evidence of the spill after the application of white wine and club
soda. <shrug> just happened and turned out well.

Soak first in club soda, followed by a soak in liquid hydrogen peroxide.
You may want/need to repeat these soaks. Then follow with washing in cold
water and a mild detergent.

Club soda is the first thing that *does* come to mind, but there's a
miraculous little item for sale called ZOUT. I did the red wine thing on my
white polo shirt, waited an entire day, used this stuff and it was GONE. I
mean GONE. Z O U T. The stuff rules.

Some people don't like oxywash, but I only use it for soaking with
(not just in the laundry)
I have a small square bucket (the hospital kind), fill it with
steaming hot water, stir in a couple scoops of powder oxywash & let
the shirt soak.

This is Martha Stewart's Home Site.........good luck to you!
Removing Stains: The Basics
There is no single technique or product that takes care of
every spot and spill. No one knows this better than the textile and stain
experts at Philadelphia University, who share advice with us.
If a garment isn't washable, the safest thing is to take
it to a dry cleaner, although there are some treatments you can try at home
(see Stain First Aid Chart). If you stain a washable garment, the golden
rule is: Act quickly. For a liquid, gently blot up any excess with a white
cloth, working from the outside in, so you don't spread the stain; do not
press hard or rub. Sprinkle an oily stain with cornstarch. If it's a dollop
of something, like ketchup, scoop off any excess. Dab the area with cool
water, which will lighten most spots and remove others altogether.
Textile and stain experts recommend certain stain removal
supplies for each problem. Start small, using cotton swabs and eyedroppers.
Often, you'll start with one treatment, then follow up with another, since
many stains have more than one component: With lipstick or tomato sauce, for
example, you have to treat the oil in the stain, then remove the color.
After using a remedy, always wash the garment as you normally would, but
look at the area you treated before you dry it; repeat the treatment if
necessary, or try another.
Always test stain-removal techniques in a hidden area of
the garment, like an inside seam. There are no guarantees-sometimes
stain-removal techniques do more harm than good-so if you have a
particularly vexing stain or a valuable, delicate piece of clothing, take it
to a professional. And unfortunately, some things just won't come out. With
permanent ink, for example, the operative word is "permanent."

My SIL uses something that she bought on tv called
Stainerator (sp?) which really does work. She's used it on
clothing, tablecloths & carpets with no problem.
I have a small container of something called (Gonzo) Wine
Out stain remover, which I've used exactly once on a shirt,
but it removed the red wine stain very well. I can't tell
you where I bought it, but it wasn't anywhere exotic...
maybe the grocery store.

I always have good luck with Shout spray -- not the stick. Spray the
bejinkies out of the stain -- really saturate it -- and let it sit for
a while. Then wash in the warmest water that you can.

I don't have that book, but I do have a wonder product called "Wine Out",
specifically made to remove red wine stains, that I bought at Cost Plus.

Make sure you use club soda and not seltzer. It's the salt that draws
out the stain, and as seltzer doesn't have any salt in it, won't be any
more effective than water.

Hot water? Really? I thought hot water would set a stain.

Too late for you, but I have had good luck with this kind of stain - usually
on a tablecloth - if I sprinkle salt on it while still wet.

If you'd get more of it into your mouth, maybe your hands would be steadier

Not with oxywash. I don't believe I have done wine, but I do my
babies drool stained shirts. About a 1-2 years ago it did well on his
formula stained clothing. I had a table runner that was given to me
by my Aunt that was my grandmothers. White linen with embroidery.
She had left a small dark stain in it that sat for decades. I soaked
it in it many times & the stain finally came out after about a day of
soaking. The only bad thing was the stain ate away at the fabric, so
it left a small hole. I can fix the hole.
Right now I'm soaking some more toddler shirts, a curry stained
washcloth (baby boy likes curry!) and another mystery stain.
Seems to be progressing well.
