Red Wine Stain Removal ~ How Do I Remove the Stain
My husband handed me a glass of red wine tonight that he wanted me to try. As I took the glass, it slipped right thru my fingers and spilled all over the light beigh carpet. I blotted it up the best I could, but what can I use to get the stain out? The only thing I had was a stain remover called Lloyd's. It did take out the red color, but a dark grayish color remains. I hope it's not too late to try anything else. Anyone have any ideas what works?

Restore Enz-Away!
It's a Minneapolis Mom-based company and you can get it at Cub or Whole Foods (and a bunch of other places) It is amazing!
We bought a house over 5 years ago with a strange grey stain on the white dining room (duh!) carpet. Everything I tried made it worse, bigger, darker, just worse. Found this stuff a few months ago, and I'm the only one who knows where the spot is now.

Contact the Travelling Vineyard. If you need a contact, I could dig one up if you email me back. (I'm not a wine drinker, so I tend to delete them when I get them, but I still get them frequently.)

White wine takes out Red wine.pour a little on a blot. Also, a product called "Wine Out" It worked every time for me. Both methods.

I have only dealt with fresh red wine stains. When they are fresh, pour on salt and then club soda. Blot up and the wine is gone.

I'm not sure if it will work now, but I have used club soda and salt before and it worked very well. Wet the area with club soda andthen spread salt on it to life the stain. Once the salt is all wet and matted, vaccuum it up.
Hope this helps

I must admit, "Spot Shot" (I get it at Costco), is the best carpet cleaner! It removed dried red acrylic paint from our white carpet and has lifted red wine as well. Just remember, don't rub!, blot! and keep working it, it takes a couple of rounds of spraying and blotting.

They actually have a product out there called Wine Away.
I can help you get some if you would like. I know it is sold in a store somewhere but I totally forgot where, however I do sell it myself for $5.00

I've had great luck using Oxyclean on tough stains. You just have to be careful of the fumes if you are sensitive to that sort of things.
