Fresh red wine stain out of your carpet.

Someone spilling red wine on your light-colored carpet or upholstery is not the end of the world. If you act fast you can remedy the problem quickly. Here is the first of several solutions to resolve your red wine spill.

First, as with any spill, blot up as much of the wine as you can. Pour white wine on a red wine spill. The white wine will dissipate the red wine. Again, blot up as much as you can. If you can still see the stain generously sprinkle with salt, while the salt is drying it should lift out the remaining red wine.

If you do not have white wine on hand, first and always blot up as much of the spill as you can. Then spray the area with hydrogen peroxide, followed by generously sprinkling baking soda on the spot. Let dry and as it is drying the peroxide should neutralize the red wine and the baking soda will absorb the liquid as it dries.

It's important to note that these solutions may help if utilizes quickly, however as with anything else, there is no guarantee of complete effectiveness. Your best option, should these solutions not work, is to apply the baking soda or salt and immediately reach out to your carpet cleaner.
