red wine stain

A question like this has probably been asked on this site before, but i must have over looked it or missed it when using search.

Alright, last nite i spilled red wine on some Docker Stain-Defending khaki pants. (However, I think the stain-defender was taking the nite off b/c the pants absorbed the wine just as fast as a sponge.) Immediately after, I decided to put dawn dish detergent on the stain to maybe keep the stain from really setting in.

Today I washed the pants and now where there were red stains now have a blackish looking stain in place of it. I did not dry the pants after the wash.

Now onto the actual question. How can I get the stain out of the pants now?

Oh, and the pants are 60% cotton and 40% micropoly

Thanks for the help.

had a run in with red wine not too long ago, and I found a remedy on-line that worked perfectly. Soak stained part of clothing in hydrogen peroxide with dishwashing liquid, then rub together. I’ll try to find the site for more specifics.

If the previous method doesn’t work try bleach in cold water (0.5 cups of bleach in a sink of water). if that doesn’t work try hotter and hotter bleach/water combos. This works for anything. To be on the safe side make sure the item is soaking wet before you place it in the bleach/water mix. Otherwise you could get spotting.

White wine.
It actually works, by diluting it. No chemicals needed either.
