You are sitting in the living room with friends, sipping on your favorite glass of red wine. You reach to set the wine glass down but -yikes!- you miss the end table. Red wine spills all over the carpet.
You grab a wet cloth and pat the stain but the wine is not coming out. Thankfully, there are methods to remove wine from carpet. This article explains a step-by-step solution to removing red wine from your carpet.
The following method removes fresh red wine stains with products that are in most homes. You only require a white cloth, cold water, baking soda, and a vacuum.
- Blot as much of the red wine stain as you can using a white cloth. The more you can soak up, the less you’ll have to remove.
- Pour cold water directly onto the wine stain after you finish blotting. The cold water dilutes what remains of the stain, making blotting a bit easier. Continue blotting until no more of the stain comes out.
- Prepare a baking soda paste by mixing three to one ratio of water to baking soda. Apply the paste to the stain. Once the paste is dry, vacuum the wine stain.
If this baking soda solution does not work, contact an experienced house cleaner. We have green cleaning products that are safe for your carpet. Our home cleaners serve residents of Reno and Sparks, Nevada. Contact White Lotus Exquisite Home Cleaning if you have a stubborn stain in your carpet.
