How to Remove Red Wine Spill from Carpet!

Well we had a little party and a full glass of wine spilled on the carpet...I didn't know how to clean the carpet so I jumped online and found this. Hopefully you don't have to know this but if might be useful!



This is how to remove WET red wine from the carpet:


1. Blot up as much of the red wine as possible from the carpet using a rag.

2. Pour white wine on the carpet around the perimeter of the spill, working the white wine towards the center--this keeps the red wine from gravitating even further out into the clean part of the carpet.

3. Wait about 30 seconds and then blot the area. If any residue of the stain remains, repeat step 2 above.


**Alternate Method**
1. Do not touch the wine.

2. Cover the entire area with table salt, so that entire area affected has been covered with approximately 1/4 inch of salt.

3. Leave undisturbed until completely dry, usually 12-24 hours but may take longer if it exceptionally cold or humid. During the drying process, the salt will pull up the wine.

4. When completely dry, vacuum the salt up and the wine will have disappeared.


**TIPS**
•The alternative method doesn't work on dry stains!

**WARNINGS**
•This may result in wine odor in your carpet.
