Firstly please never put salt on a red wine spill. Salt will
only help to set the stain; this is why we put salt in the washing machine when
trying to dye fabric.
Follow this process for the best results:
* You must blot as
much of the spillage as possible, making sure you do not rub as this will push
the stain further into the fabric or fibres of your carpet.
* It is true when red
wine is spilled on your upholstery or carpet, white wine can be your true
companion. It will help neutralize red
wine and make it far easier to remove the colour but, why waste your expensive
wine? A much cheaper and equally effective alternative is white wine vinegar; a
50/50 mix with lukewarm water will do the job! Simply pour the mix over the
spillage then very gently blot it up from the outer edges, to prevent the stain
from spreading, with a thick towel.
*Before attempting
any stain removal always test in an inconspicuous area if possible i.e. back of
the sofa or area of carpet that is usually hidden
If possible it is
always best to call in the experts to guarantee your best chance of removing
the stain, we are always happy to advise you so please don’t hesitate to
contact us!
