Accidentally doused yourself in red wine? Go ahead and top it off with … more wine. Really. White wine poured on top of a fresh red wine stain “cancels it out,” says senior staff writer and resident stain-busting expert Andrea Barnes. It’s just one of the many expert hacks she has picked up through her years of reporting on laundry and large appliances.

In the very first episode of our new podcast, The Wirecutter Show, Andrea goes in depth with our hosts on her best laundry tips and tricks, including what you’re probably doing wrong, how to actually remove stains, and the one eco-friendly swap that’ll make your clothes last.

Listen to the first episode now on: Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
