Clothing
Before you throw that shirt away because you spilled some wine on it, try this handy trick to remove the stain:
- Mix together equal parts dishwashing detergent & hydrogen peroxide (find it in the first-aid section. It’s used to prevent infection of minor cuts and scrapes).
- Pour the mixture over the wine stain and allow it to soak.

*this trick works best on light colored clothes, as hydrogen peroxide has a tendency to bleach.
