I say if you're worried about red wine stains, drink white wine! 😂 All kidding aside, great tips! Thanks!

Great tips. Thank you. You mentioned a mild detergent for washing--do you have any recommendations? I usually use Orvus.

I personally like BioKleen or Molly’s Suds but there really are SO MANY great options out there. Just a quick search for “gentle laundry detergent for sensitive skin” brings up at least a dozen different variations 😆 it can be overwhelming for sure
