To remove white wine stains from clothes, simply turn your garment inside out and rinse the back of the stain with cold water before following the instructions as per red wine. Due to the colourful tint in rosé, you need to treat this the same way you would a red wine stain.
Wine on your clothes, carpet or other fabric is enough to put anyone in a bad mood. But wine stains – whether you prefer a red, white or rosé – can all be fixed with Resolve®, specially formulated to remove anthocyanins in wine. So put your feet up, relax and sip away, without a worry in the world…
