Red wine spill? Don't panic - clean it!

1) As I always recommend with any stain, blot up the wine with a white terrycloth towel. Make sure that you are not scrubbing so you don’t work the stain in further. Continue blotting until all of the wine is absorbed. (Hint: Salt can also help to soak up the wine.)

2) If you are going to attempt to clean the stain yourself, blot the area with water or club soda. Again, be careful not to rub the carpet fibers. Because some home carpet cleaning products can make stains worse, I do not recommend use. However, if you MUST, only use one that is purposed for wine removal.

3) If you are concerned about cleaning the stain yourself, contact your local carpet cleaner. Twin Cities residents may contact Classic Care Carpet Cleaning at 651-777-1100 or classiccare@comcast.net.
