If a red wine stain keeps reappearing on a polyester dress, it usually means some dye or residue is still trapped in the fibers and is “ghosting” back as the fabric dries or warms up. Re-treat the spot gently with cool water, a small amount of mild liquid detergent, and thorough rinsing, then air-dry and check before applying any heat.
