Stain Removal - Recipe for Success

One tablespoon of classic Dawn liquid – the blue stuff One cup of hydrogen peroxide Dab onto stain with a clean cloth or sponge. This can remove red wine, blood, yellowed stains from sweat and deodorant, grass, even stains that have been laundered and are old. On Thanksgiving we tried this with an old off-white muslin tablecloth with a blue, tan and berry colored pattern. A glass of Zinfandel spilled over a large portion of the fabric. After trying all the classic remedies (like cancel red wine with white wine) and having little success, I went onto Google and found a few recipes. The recipe above got the most traffic and comments online, and was the only one that worked. And boy did it work: without even rinsing the red was COMPLETELY gone, the print was not affected; it didn’t bleach the off-white color. It was as though the wine was never spilled. Online it says you can use this on most any type of stain with success and virtually no damage. I am totally going to try this on all my old frustrating stains and have these ingredients on hand for the next time that I have a spill!
