Red Wine


(Fabrics/Carpet)

Sponge immediately with White Wine to remove the red stain. If stain has dried, soften with glycerine (1 part to 2 parts water) before washing. Rinse in warm water, sponge with borax solution (15ml to 500ml water) if necessary. Wash in the usual manner.

If you rub salt into the stain immediately after the spillage has occurred this will counteract the stain.  Leave for a minute or two then rinse with warm water.

(Wool Carpet)

Immediately pour a pile of salt onto the freshly spilt wine.  The salt absorbs the wine.  If left to absorb overnight the salt may be vacuumed the next day.
