Can you help me get red wine out of a cream sweater?

You could try soaking it in oxyclean. Unfortunately, putting a stained garment in the dryer usually sets the stain into the fibers.

I believe the preferred treatment for red wine is blot out as much as you can with water, and then pour white wine over vinegar on it. Blot until the stain comes out.

Oxyclean is magical even on set in stains. So is Woolite Pet Oxygen spot carpet cleaner. I use that on absolutely everything.

Hot water. My roomate and her boyfriend knocked over a bottle of red wine on my wool carpet while I was at work. I called a sister to find out what to do…this was before the internet…and they soaked the huge spot in hot water. I still have the rug, and there no stain anywhere, including the naturally white areas.

Resolve is my saviour. You have to do it a few times.

There is a product called wine away which is very effective in removing red wine stains while they are still fresh. You spray it on the still-wet stain and it just disappears (and smells of cut oranges).
This probably doesn’t help you, however. Get some for next time.

Try spot treating it with non-chlorine bleach (Tide), let it sit for about an hour and then wash it like you normally would wash it… adding the right amount of detergent for the load.
