How To Remove A Red Wine Stain

It’s all fun and games until the wine gets spilled, and it seems to be the law of nature that if your Bordeaux is going to spill, it will happen on something light‎. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent red wine from leaving a permanent stain on your carpets or furniture‎. As they say, there’s no point crying over spilled wine‎. Try these four tricks to remove a red wine stain quickly and effectively‎.

As a pantry shelf staple, baking soda is a go-to for treating most stains‎. Start by blotting the red wine stain with a dry cloth, then pouring a small amount of cold water to saturate the wine‎. Next, mix baking soda with water in a 3:1 ratio to form a thick paste‎. Apply it liberally to the stain, wait 20 minutes until dry, and then vacuum until clear‎.

If you happen to have white wine on hand, pouring a little onto the stain can help neutralize the red wine’s pigment‎. Then, use a cloth to blot until the red has faded‎. To finish cleaning your carpet or furniture, gently scrub the spot with a lightly soaped rag and wait for it to air dry‎.

Start by wiping the wine stain with a clean rag to soak up any extra liquid, then pour a small amount of club soda onto the stain‎. Next, pour some salt on top to prevent the stain from setting‎. Let this mixture sit for around 20 minutes, then vacuum it up once dry‎.

One of the simplest fixes for a red wine spill is boiling the kettle and pouring the hot water directly over the stain with the fabric pulled taut‎. Be mindful of the material involved, as you run the risk of damaging fabrics like suede, silk, or wool‎. Boiling water might not entirely do the trick, but it will help to dilute and minimize the stain‎.
