Simple Red Wine Removal

Wine…goes great with meals and special occasions. But what to do when it spills?

The first step is to blot up the spill. To blot up the spill take a folded, dry terry towel and place it over the spill. Then press or stand on it to absorb the liquid. Turn it over to a dry side after the first side has soaked up as much as possible. Repeat until the towel no longer soaks up any wine.

Second, use some spot remover or club soda on the remaining colored area. Blot as above with a clean towel. Then, use a little plain water, and repeat the blotting process.

There you go...No more stain!

If you have a home carpet cleaning machine then this is a perfect job for it! Use it to suck up the wine, then to rinse out the spotter or club soda with plain water. However, you may want to use a dry towel as a final blotting step to speed drying.

If you have any trouble with wine color coming back then call a professional carpet cleaner. In the Portland, OR area, call Sean's Carpet Care at 503-922-4875
