How to Get Red Wine Out of Carpet?

Many Americans enjoy a glass of red wine from time to time. However, sharing a glass can turn into a stressful event if wine is spilled on the carpets. Red wine is notorious for its ability to leave long-lasting stains on all kinds of materials, especially carpets. Luckily, Colossal Carpet Cleaning knows the best ways to remove stains. Learn everything about how to get red wine out of the carpet so you’re ready for the future of your carpet!

Blot the Area as Soon as Possible

The best first step to getting a red wine stain out of the carpet is to blot up as much of the wine as possible. If left alone, the wine will seep very deep into the carpet and become much harder to remove. It’s critical that you blot up the wine. Trying to rub the wine out of the carpet will actually have the opposite effect and you’ll simply be worsening the stain. If you act quickly and make sure to blot the mess then you should be able to get a large portion of the wine out right at the beginning.

Do-It-Yourself Solutions

It’s typical to turn to a do-it-yourself solution to try and get stains out. However, most DIY options are less than effective. In addition, the DIY solutions are highly likely to do major damage to your carpets. While you could try any of these options, we would recommend contacting a professional carpet cleaner.

Club Soda

Club soda is one of the simple solutions. After blotting up as much wine as you can, pour some club soda on the spill. Blot up the club soda until you’ve gotten as much as you can up. Then, repeat until you’ve gotten as much stain out as possible.

Vinegar

To effectively use vinegar it needs to be a mixture with dishwashing liquid. Mix two cups of warm water with one tablespoon of dishwashing liquid and one tablespoon of vinegar. Then, add the mixture to the stain and blot as much of it up as you can. Repeat the process until the stain disappears.

Baking Soda

Like most other solutions, you start by blotting as much wine as possible out first. Then, put some cold water on the stain to try and dilute it. After that, make a paste by mixing one part water with three parts baking soda. Apply the paste to the stain. Let the paste dry and then vacuum it up. If that doesn’t work then you should definitely contact a professional.
