Who doesn’t love to enjoy a glass of red wine while watching a movie or having a girls’ night?
If you are constantly worried about not spilling a single drop of red wine on your shirt or sofa, you might miss having the real fun.
The good news is, it is easy to remove red wine stains, especially when you can act quickly. Read on to see the steps of how to remove a red wine stain.
Part 1: Removing Red Wine Stains from Clothing Garments
If you have spilled red wine in your shirt or dress, you will need to use a stain remover spray like Grandma’s Secret.
A DIY Recipe is to use one tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide and one tablespoon of liquid detergent. Make sure there is no bleach in the detergent.
Apply the spray or solution onto the stained area.
Wait for a few minutes and then launder as usual.
Part 2: How to Remove Red Wine Stain from Carpet
Step 1: Spot Stain Cleaner
If the red wine is accidentally spilled on your carpet, this solution is perfect for you.
Keep a portable spot carpet machine handy. You only add water. You can add hydrogen peroxide or the cleaning solution for extra stain removal power.
If you want to skip the convenient spot cleaner, you can use a wine remover spray.
It comes in little bottles so you can bring one to a party for wardrobe emergencies. As well, good to know that it’s safe to use around kids and pets.
I’ve also got a DIY version for you. You will need vinegar and a few pieces of paper towel.
Step 2: Dry It
Act as soon as possible. Bring towels and blot the carpet so that the excess liquid comes off quickly.
Get rid of the liquid rolling over the carpet and prevent it from spreading.
Step 3: Spray the Stain
The next step is to cover the stain with the vinegar or wine stain removal spray.
Saturate it depending on the amount of red wine that has been spilled.
Step 4: Sit then Blot
Let the vinegar or spray sit for 1 to 5 minutes to work on the stain.
Then blot away the wetness with a towel.
Takeaway
These are a few of the effective methods of removing red wine stains. If you have the chance to act quickly, the process is quite easy.
However, all is not lost if you wait.
Using a spot carpet cleaning machine or a good stain remover spray, and some elbow grease, you can get the red wine stains out, too.
