Club Soda and Baby Powder
I recently used Club Soda and a small mix of Baking Soda that seemed to work fairly well.
Okay I know of a way that works for me, BUT you will need three golden retrievers for it to really work.
Red wine has a way of winding up in the wrong place. Here are some ways to ensure that it doesn’t stay there for long. On delicate fabrics: Soak the spot with denatured alcohol. Flush with white vinegar to remove residual stain. On sturdy fabrics: Coat stain with salt; let stand for five minutes. Stretch stained area over a bowl; secure with a rubber band. Place in sink; carefully pour boiling water over stain from a height of at least a foot.
Try salt—right away when it’s just happened. The salt seems to absorb the wine quickly. When you dinner is over, your wine stain has disappeared.
