Red Wine Stains
Got red wine poured all down my back last night by accident, only just seen it this morning.
The top is 100% polyester and is white except for two stipes of red and blue down one side, it's a Filja track suit so I want to save it if possible.
Anyone got any uncomplicated tips that will work? Or should I just take it straight to a dry cleaners?

If it's hard to do, it's not worth doing.

This any help, Bee?
Red Wine
Fabrics/Carpet
Sponge immediately with White Wine to remove the red stain.
If stain has dried soften with glycerine (1 part to 2 parts water) before washing.
Rinse in warm water, sponge with borax solution (1 tablespoons to 1 pint water) if necessary. Wash in the usual manner.
If you rub salt into the stain immediately after the spillage has occurred this will counteract the stain. Leave for a minute or two then rinse with warm water.
Baby wipes can be used to remove stain.
Shaving foam also gets red wine out of clothing and carpets/upholstery.

Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you can't change.
