Laundry tip?
Can anyone give me advice as to how I should go about getting grape juice out of a white tablecloth? I'd appreciate the help!

Sorry, I am a disaster at stain removal. Laundry is not my area of expertise. Soak it in cold water?
OK, my "How to Clean Practically Anything" book says first, try detergent solution (Mix 1 tsp with 1 cup of water), if that doesn't work try ammonia solution (Mix 1 TBSP with 1/2 cup water), and last try vinegar solution (Mix 1/3 cup household vinegar and 2/3 cup water). Then flush area with warm water. Hope this helps!
And by the way, I'm sorry things are so rough right now. I'm praying for you, friend!
I have a great product that will take out any stain. I just went through all my baby clothes and got out ALL the old stains from 1-2 years ago. The only problem is getting it to you. In the meantime, here are some tips from a website I found.
To remove red fruit stains, such as cherry, raspberry, blueberry, or grape stains, first remove as much of the stain as you can by blotting and scraping. Blot the stain with a wet sponge until the stain stops bleeding.
If the garment is durable and can be bleached, try rinsing out the stain with boiling water. Position the stain over a bowl or wide-mouthed cup and use a rubber band to hold the fabric in place. Set the bowl in a sink and pour boiling water through the stain. Next treat the stain with lemon juice or an all-purpose cleaner, or make up a solution of equal parts ammonia, water and liquid dishwashing liquid.
For washable cotton or linen items, mix one part vinegar and three parts water and apply to the stain. If the stain remains, soak in a digestant-enzyme solution for an hour, then wash again.
Did I mention that the stain is about 2 weeks old? Thanks for all the help - I think one of the ideas should work? Will let you know!
I'm glad to know someone else is more resourceful than I am. My help is no help at all!
Try a clorox bleach pen. I would do it first because it requires so little work!
I love clorox bleach pens!
