Answer 1

Blot fresh spills, then use carpet shampoo. Don't sprinkle it with salt as it may change the colour of the carpet. On old stains try rubbing in a mixture of equal parts glycerine and water. Leave for an hour, then rinse off.

Answer 2

Red Wine Stain Turned Blue

Answer 3

Wine columnist Jennifer Rosen tests out home and commercial cleaning techniques for getting red wine stains out of a white carpet. The winner? A freshly mixed solution of two parts Hydrogen Peroxide to one part Blue Dawn dishwashing detergent. The runners up are milk for fabric and shaving cream for carpet.

I have a housekeeping business and haven't tried the above, but I have heard that my clients have had good luck with a woolite carpet product on various stains, personally I use Resolve carpet cleaner for spot cleaning as well as in my carpet cleaner.

Answer 4

She should have immediately got some white wine on a cloth and used the white wine as if it was water to gradually sponge the satin out. All is not lost - tell her to try it now but only use a little at a time working inwards from the outside of the mark.

Answer 5

White Wine

Answer 6

You have several options. Wine Away available at Cost Plus and some discounters will remove it immediately. You spray it on the stain, it will turn blue and you keep spraying until it disappears, rinse and let it dry. You can also try using white white, agitate with a brush and blotting with a soft cloth until the stain is gone. Or you can make a paste of water mixed with 20 Mule Team Borax, agitate with a brush (it will also turn blue) keep adding water until the stain disappears. Allow to dry and vacuum up.

Answer 7

Try soaking in white wine for a short time, this sometimes lift the deep stain. Then rinse with cold water.

orI fear it will have been cooked in by now if they put it through the standard cleaning process. Rather poor of them, the better dry cleaning companies (the big chains or specialists) have specialist people to take out odd stains, and are usually very good.

I once dropped a 5l can of emulsion and it splashed over my best suit, Sketchleys got it like new (you have to take it in quick).

Do you think you can claim on your insurance? good luck.

Answer 8

Cover the area with white wine, allow it to sink in a bit, then work it in (if it has dried) this should loosen the stain, then use either a tea towel or such to 'blot' the area, sometimes rubbing can spread the wine and damage the pile.

It does work!

Happy New Year!

Answer 9

If you don't have a small bottle of club soda, then you can try
to wet the stain then add some baking soda to it, say a good tablespoon full......Let it sit on it for 5 minutes, then take a clean cloth and start to rub the soda all around with some pressure. You should see the stain lifting onto the cloth....then when finished, you can pat dry with another cloth.(.good luck)

Answer 10

If it was a fresh spill I'd say pour a good amount of salt on it and leave it over night (try this at home kids, it really works!) then vacuum up.
Since it's dry, put a little squirt of Dawn dish stuff in a glass and then add 1/2 c. peroxide and mix. THIS MIXTURE IS AMAZING. It works on old blood stains, doesn't bleach colors out either.
