How Do You Remove Old Wine Stains From A Pima Cotton Blouse?
The fabric made from extra-fine Pima cotton yarn is luxurious, durable and soft. This premium textile will stand up better than other kinds of cotton to aggressive stain removal techniques. Test your blouse to make sure it is color-fast by first trying this cleaning method on an inconspicuous part of the garment. This can be done on an inside seam, or any other part of the blouse that is not visible when being worn. Skip this step if your garment is white. Mix a few drops of dish-washing liquid with enough 3-percent hydrogen peroxide to soak the stained area. Gently rub this mixture into the stain using a soft toothbrush. Pima cotton has a high thread count and is tightly woven, so apply the cleaning mixture to both sides of the stain. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then machine wash as usual. Hang the blouse to dry in the sun, if possible. The sun can be a surprisingly effective bleaching agent. It is important to hang the blouse dry because a stained garment should not be put in
