Finally, run through the rest of the cycle, according to Clean Mama.
9. Remove wine from fabric
If you spilled a little wine on your favorite dress, don’t dismay. Heat 2 cups of white vinegar until just before it boils. Then turn the fabric so the stain is facing down, pour half of your vinegar over the stain and watch as the stain starts to drain out. Rinse with cool water, then soak the stain in the rest of your vinegar for about a half hour. Rinse and wash, House Wife How-Tos recommends.
