How to remove WINE STAINS from carpet:

• Don’t let the stain settle. Act as fast as possible. It may be after midnight - do it now - you'll be glad you did !!!!
• Using a white cloth, blot, DON'T RUB the stain. The more you can soak up, the less you’ll have to remove.
• After you have blotted, pour a bit of cold water directly onto the wine stain – this will dilute the remains of the stain.
• Keep on blotting until no more of the stain comes out. Remember, no rubbing!

And if that doesn’t work… try this:

• Blot as much of the stain as possible – use paper towels or a clean cloth.
• Pour two cups of warm water into a small bowl. Then mix one tablespoon of white vinegar and one tablespoon of a dishwashing liquid together.
• Dip a clean sponge into the bowl and apply the solution directly onto the wine stain - blotting only - DON'T  RUB !
• Continue blotting until the stain has lifted.
• Make a baking soda paste by mixing a three-to-one ratio of water to baking soda
• Apply to the stain. Once the paste is dry, vacuum the stain.
