How to Remove Red Wine Stains

Category: Home Improvement, Stains Be Gone
Red wine stains can be tough to get out, but if you act quickly, they won't stand a chance. With a few common household products -- soap, hydrogen peroxide, club soda, salt and even white wine -- can help remove red wine from clothing or tablecloths with ease.
Step 1: Treat It Fast
Try to treat your red wine stain as soon as possible. Mix one teaspoon of dish soap with one cup of hydrogen peroxide. Use a sponge to drizzle it on the stain. Let it penetrate and rinse with cold water.
Step 2: Club Soda Method
Put club soda in a measuring cup and soak the piece of clothing in the solution. Remove and cover with salt. Leave it overnight, brush the salt off and your stain should be gone.
Step 3: Fight Wine With Wine
If you don't have anything else, try using white wine to fight the stain. Pour it over the effected area and let it soak for a few minutes. Rinse and you should be good to go.

I am a Diabetic and I just had a Pacemaker installed. Sometimes my wound leaks out a little blood on the bedsheets and pillow cases. What is the best way to get the Blood stains out? What do you suggest?
Thank you,

I tried what she said once and it worked, but now I can't find the "recipre" anymore. It was Dawn dish washing soap and hydrogine peroxide, but I don't remember the mixture. But it really doesn't matter to me anymore, because I've learned how to drink red wime without spilling it. LOL
