Thinking of switching to white wine just to avoid stains? Memorize these cleaning tips instead. To complete this how-to, you will need: White wine, club soda, or cold water A white cloth napkin or clean white T-shirt Salt Liquid enzyme detergent Spot stain remover Borax or baking soda A clean toothbrush A vacuum Step 1: Use white on red Pour white wine or club soda on the stain while it’s still wet — just make sure the fabric is washable. If you don’t have either, use cold water. Step 2: Blot it Blot it with a white cloth napkin or a clean white T-shirt. Step 3: Sprinkle salt Sprinkle salt on the stain to absorb the remaining moisture. Let it stand for a few minutes. Step 4: Rinse Rinse in cold water. If the stain remains, repeat the process until you’ve removed as much as possible. Step 5: Pretreat Dab a little liquid-enzyme detergent into the wine stain; find it at the supermarket. Let it stand for about 10 minutes before rinsing with cold water and rubbing out the stain. Step 6: Spot-treat If you can still see the stain, apply a spot stain remover before machine-washing in cold water with a liquid-enzyme detergent. Step 7: For carpet spills, blot up as much of the red wine as you can with a clean cloth and then saturate the stain with club soda or cold water and blot that up. Repeat until the stain is gone. Step 8: Try baking soda If repeated saturating and blotting does not remove the whole thing, make a paste of three parts borax or baking soda to one part water …

I sure hope someone out there is a wizard! My husband accidently bumped into me with a glass of red wine and spilled it all over my very expensive and favorite off-white 100% silk Ralph Lauren suit, the jacket and the pants. I took it to the dry cleaner and they cannot get the stains out. I know I’m probably asking for a miracle, but I’ll try anything at this point. I bought it 1.5 years ago, so it’s a "past season" suit and I can’t find another one. It’s one of those suits you know you’ll never find again! Thanks for any advice, I really appreciate it.

I sit alone in my bedroom, hiding under my duvet covers, to avoid the hate-filled world which surrounds me. I lie crying, with the tears streaming down my face like a furious waterfall and I am asking myself what I have done to deserve this. My body is screaming at me and I know I am not in control. I can feel myself slipping away as my anger and confusion overwhelm me.

“Astraea!” My mum calls me. My emotions are hastily hidden as if a blanket is pulled over my heart, in an attempt to veil my grief. “What?” I respond, trying to keep my voice as still as possible.
“Get down here and clean this up! Or… Or I’ll… ” She trails off. I can tell she’s drunk; otherwise she wouldn’t be stuck for a punishment. I can hear her heavy footsteps on the stairs, in response I jump up, rub my eyes, open a book and pretend to read it. She stumbles through my door. She looks terrible; her lipstick is bright red and makes her lips look uneven because she’s wearing too much. She’s got on my eye shadow, the set that I bought with my birthday money. Suddenly the smell hits me, a disgusting cocktail of cheap perfume, alcohol and smoke. “Clean it, right now.” Her voice scares me, the woman standing in my bedroom is no longer my mum, she’s just the woman whose maid happens to be her daughter. She glares at me with her resentful eyes as I slink past her. I turn around and see her walking into her bedroom. I skulk downstairs and through to the lounge, where I see the mess she makes every night. There are empty bottles of wine everywhere and the usual stains that come with them. Her make-up is all over the sofa and used tissues are strewn across the room, as if somebody purposefully placed them so far away from each other.
I cannot put up with this injustice any longer. I feel my emotions taking over my soul and compressing it, the mental pain is unbearable, how did this situation ever come to be. I feel something in my hands, my nails are digging into my palms and making them bleed, but it’s good, it distracts me from the real pain. I’m looking at the mess, but I’m not seeing it, I can notice the draft from the door mum didn’t close, but I cannot feel it, I smell the clubs and the bars, but I don’t acknowledge it. I need to leave, get away from all these people who are crushing my dreams and labelling them as impossible and a joke. But where can I go? I have no-one who can help me, I’m all alone and no-one understands… apart from Jay!
‘How could I forget about Jay?’ I run back through the lounge and back upstairs, being careful to avoid the 2 creaky steps. I hurry to my desk and take out my writing paper. I grab a pen and start to write:
Jay,
Life here has become unbearable without you. I need you; you’re all I have left. My life has shattered into pieces. Those I thought were my friends betrayed me, my boyfriend abused me, my mum gets drunk every night and I need to talk to somebody.

Now i’m stuck…. My teacher says we have to follow the unity of time, which means she cannot go to sleep, she cannot get knocked out, I personally cannot just put in something like, ‘a few minutes later’.

Unity of time is soo annnoying
