Spilled white wine on your clothes, table, or sofa? No need to worry. As cleaning experts with years of experience tackling tough stains, we know white wine spots are far easier to banish than red wine. These 6 simple, natural remedies work on virtually any surface. Here's how:
Contents Don't toss that white cotton tee. First, blot excess liquid with paper towels.
Dab with hydrogen peroxide, rinse, and machine wash as usual. For colored fabrics, use white vinegar or household alcohol on a cotton ball instead. Rinse and wash normally. This works on jeans, linen, and more.
If no removers are handy, soak in cold water for 30 minutes first.
For parquet or furniture, act fast: Blot excess, then wipe with a cotton ball soaked in sorrel salt. Rinse thoroughly.
On waxed wood, mix clay stone with 70% alcohol to protect the finish. Finish with linseed oil for shine.
For teak, a damp sponge suffices.
For old stains, wet the area and rub with dry Marseille soap. Wipe with white vinegar solution, then rinse.
For fresh spills, blot first, then follow the same steps.
