Cabernet in the red wine and carpet don’t mix, but if you act quickly, you can save the day. I have researched and experiments on how to clean effectively without harmful for kids and pets. Cleaning red wine stain is an easy job, with just vinegar and dish washing liquid.

Here is what we do.

We get a white rag, cloth or paper towels, a spoon of vinegar, a spoon of dishwashing liquid, a spoon of salt and warm water.

Part 1: Absorb red wine from carpet

Step 1: You fold the rag up in half and clean up the glass. The first we need to do is to absorb the red wine on the carpet. You will need to put extreme pressure on the spot, then you can see part of red wine comes up on the rag. That means it absorbs from the carpet, too. You can keep folding it and put the pressure on for few times on a tough spot where it is more concentrated. The more pressure we can add, the more dilutions we are going get off the carpet. Do it for about 5 minutes.

If you do not have a white rug on hand, pour a thick layer of salt on the stain. The salt will keep red wine from setting. When you have proper cleaning equipment, vacuum it up and ready to go for the next step.

Part 2: Clean the rest of red wine marks

Step 2: Mix up dish washing liquid, white vinegar and hot water in a bowl. Dish washing liquid and vinegar are popular household cleaning products. With a suitable rate, they can act effectively without risks of changing colour, damaging surfaces. Click here for further uses and instruction of using vinegar.

Step 3: Blot the mixture on the stain with a clean white rug, starting at the outer edge of the stain. Repeat the action a few times. For stubborn stains, pour the mixture of one part dish washing liquid and two parts hydrogen peroxide on the carpet stain. However, you need to make sure it won’t cause discoloration.

Step 4: When the stain is gone, dampen a clean white rag with cold water and blot the area again.

Step 5: Blot the are dry with another clean white rag or paper towels

Final step: Toast the good work with a glass of wine – just sip carefully ?
