Red wine, specifically, will stain fibers if it's allowed to sit for too long, and exposure to heat can render these stains permanent. To deal with these stains, you need a detergent that can dilute the stain, lift it, and wash it away in one step, without rubbing. Tide Ultra OXI High-Efficiency Liquid detergent is the result of years of laundry know-how and uses built-in pre-treaters to help get your favorites back to their pre-pinot stain glory.
