Laundry Tricks : Remove Red Wine Stains

There is nothing worse than having your favorite white shirt or dress ruined by spilling some red wine on it. Are you suppose to stop drinking wine all together?

Take liquid soap and some hydrogen peroxide and mix it together. You will have a great homemade red wine remover.

Peroxide, among other things, is a bleaching agent. It turns the color compounds of red wine from red to white. The reason wine is so hard to get out is because it is not water soluble. The soap, having both hydrophilic and hydrophobic ends, grabs the color compounds and allows the peroxide to act on them and remove them from the clothes.
