how do I remove red wine stains from a carpet?

Answer 1

Use a product called WineAway. I believe it is a citric acid based cleaner. I am a winemaker in Sonoma County, and virtually every winery in Sonoma/Napa has a bottle or two onhand for accidental spills. I have white carpet at home, and WineAway has removed several red wine stains.

Answer 2

"When a full glass of red wine ended up on the carpet, I diluted the stain with a very wet cloth. I let the stain fully dry, it took 1 full day and night.Then I sprayed, very well, with SHOUT a laundry stain remover by SC Johnson & Son Pty Ltd.Again, wiping over with a very wet cloth, the stain disappeared before my eyes."

"...we were panic stricken because our 3 year old son accidentally hit a full glass of wine on our friends' white sofa. While I was checking your website my husband tried this and it worked! He first soaked the stain with club soda then sprinkled salt.The stain seemed to get darker so he put woolite laundry detergent and rubbed it.Voila! it was gone .Can't say it will work again but it definitely saved our evening."

Ralph M writes .. I've tried a lot of removers from club soda on,best I have found is a relatively new product named "Spot Shot".Seems to have the ability to remove fresh or old wine stains and also any other kind of carpet stain.It probably works on clothes too but I have not had the need to try it. Just follow directions on the spray can. DRINK MORE WINE, don't waste it by spilling.

Richard R. writes .. I bought the product Spot Shot and it worked perfectly. You would never know that there was a wine stain and this is on an Ice Blue color carpet.

Karin S. writes .. At a recent holiday party, a friend spilled most of her red wine on my nearly white carpet. Even after applying a nearly full carton of salt and letting it dry overnight before vacuuming up, the stain (although faded) was still VERY noticeable. I picked up a can of Spot Shot and, using virtually the entire can, am happy to report that no one would ever guess that there'd ever been a drop of wine spilled. This stuff is an absolute miracle. It's easily found at stores like K-Mart, Target and Wal-Mart.

STEP 1: Blot the spill with paper towels or a clean cloth. STEP 2: Combine 1 teaspoon carpet shampoo (or dish soap, like Dawn) and 1 cup hydrogen peroxide in a small bowl. Soak a clean sponge in the mixture, squeeze it halfway dry, then gently blot the stain. Continue until the stain lifts. STEP 3: Sponge the stained area with warm water. STEP 4: Blot dry with a clean cloth or paper towels. Tips & Warnings
Act immediately. The longer a stain sits, the harder it is to remove.
Commerical products like Oxy Clean and Wine Away do an excellent job of removing red wine stains, but try this homemade version if you don't have either of those on hand.

Answer 5

White wine takes out red wine stains. True.

Answer 6

If that's been there awhile, you'll want a specialist cleanser. Even then you surely would no longer get it out. pink wine and blood are really demanding to flow at the same time as they have dried or were there awhile. strong success.

Answer 7

OxiClean is the best. I've used it for wine on a white carpet - no trace.

Answer 8

With white wine - pour it on, blot it with a cloth, then use a light soap, rinse thoroughly and dry with a hair dryer.

Answer 9

That stuff they sell at Walmarts in a tub, Oxy something, is supposed to take it completely out. It's in the area where you buy the detergents.
