Red Alert: Tackling Wine Stains on Your Wedding Dress

A spilled glass of wine during your wedding celebration can be a heart-stopping moment. But fear not, those dreaded red (or white!) wine stains don't have to spell disaster for your cherished gown. With prompt action and the right techniques, you can often minimize or even completely remove wine stains from your wedding dress.

Act Quickly:

• Blot, Don't Rub: As soon as the spill occurs, gently blot the stain with a clean, white cloth or paper towel. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing, which can set the stain deeper into the fabric fibers.
• Avoid Heat: Heat can set stains, so avoid using hot water or a hairdryer on the affected area.

Home Remedies for Fresh Stains:

While professional cleaning is always recommended for delicate wedding gowns, here are a few home remedies you can try for fresh wine stains:

• Salt: Sprinkle a generous amount of salt on the stain to absorb the liquid. Let it sit for a few minutes, then brush off the salt and rinse with cold water.
• Club Soda: Blot the stain with club soda, which can help lift the stain from the fabric.
• White Vinegar & Dish Soap: Mix a solution of one part white vinegar, one part dish soap and two part water. Apply it to the stain sparingly, let it sit for 30 minutes, then dab with a clean dry towel. Use water only to help dab and rinse.
• Less is more when working on a stain. Don't over use a product, repeat the steps and be patient.

Caution: Always test any home remedy on an inconspicuous area of your gown first to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration or damage.
