Cleaning Red Wine from a Carpet

Spilling red wine on your carpet can send one into panic. After all, it's notoriously difficult to clean such a stain, especially if you don't know which steps you should take. The first seconds following a spill are the most crucial. By acting quickly, you can clean a good amount of the stain up.

Immediately after the spill, dab the spill with a clean cloth. When the majority is soaked into the cloth, get to work with a good carpet shampoo or stain remover. Some good stain removers include: hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, vinegar, club soda, salt, or soda ash.

A neat trick you can utilize to help lift the stain from the carpet involves more wine -- white wine, to be specific. By pouring some white wine over a red wine stain, you can neutralize the red wine and make it easier to soak up from the carpet.
