Immediate Response

• First, blot the stain gently with a clean, white cloth or paper towel—never rub, as this only spreads the wine and pushes it deeper.
• Next, pour a small amount of cold water onto the affected area to dilute the wine. Continue blotting until the cloth picks up no more color.
• For fresh stains, cover the damp area with a generous layer of table salt. Let the salt sit until it dries and turns pink as it absorbs the wine, then vacuum away the residue.

Deep Cleaning Options

If the stain remains, try one of these methods:

• Baking Soda Paste: Mix three parts baking soda with one part water. Apply this thick paste over the stain, cover with a damp cloth, and let it dry. Once dry, vacuum thoroughly.
• Dishwashing Liquid & Vinegar Solution: Combine a tablespoon each of dishwashing liquid and white vinegar with two cups of cold water. Sponge the stain with the solution and blot until the stain lifts, then rinse and blot dry.
• Hydrogen Peroxide (for light carpets): Mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide (3%) and dishwashing liquid. Test first on a hidden area. If safe, apply, let sit for 15–30 minutes, then blot and rinse.
• Commercial Carpet Cleaner: For stubborn stains, use a cleaner designed for wine or organic marks, following product directions.

Additional Tips

• For dried or old stains, moisten with cold water and repeat cleaning steps.
• Avoid hot water and bleach—both can set or worsen the stain.
• After cleaning, sprinkle baking soda to absorb odours and vacuum once dry.
• If in doubt, or if dealing with delicate materials, call a professional cleaner.
