Help Wine Stain on Quilt

[shawn]

My DH spilled ALOT of red wine on one of my quilts. It is made of moda brushed fabric. I tried blotting with club soda (it is a large stained area). I tried soaking in cold water. I tried white vinegar and borax mixture. I even tried shout stain remover and washing in the machine on cold. No Luck. Is there anything else I can try before I just give up on it?

I have NOT yet given up and put in the dryer. Thanks for any help.

Shawn,

Try Oxy Clean, it works well on this type of stain.

Try the Carbona product made for wine stains. It comes in a little bitty bottle on the laundry aisle and there are formulas for ink, blood, make-up, etc. You may need lots of it--and test it first of course. Good luck--sorry about your quilt. Is your DH out of the doghouse yet?

My JoAnn's carries this product if you can't find it.

Thank you so much for the help. I was able to find Carbona for wine stains at the grocery store today and...... it worked!!!! I was amazed. I thought it was ruined for sure.

You may have also saved a life

Thank you again.

Equal amounts of dish soap and hydrogen peroxide will remove red wine as well.

Hope there is a good story that goes with the accident.

No good story. Just DH being clumsy. He sat his wine glass down on a table I had a quilt draped over and then bumped the table and knocked the entire glass over. What a mess. The carbona worked wonders. I did not have hydrogen peroxide in the house but next shopping trip will buy some just in case this happens again.

Thanks again to all who replied.
