Tips for Wine Stain Removal

1. Find the Stain
   • Identify all parts of the wine stain. It is very important that you make note of the overall area before doing any removal.
2. Find White Wine
   • White wine will help neutralize red wine and will make it easier to lift the color off of your carpet or clothes
3. No White Wine?
   • No problem. Any of the following will work: hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, soda ash, vinegar, club soda, salt, or Chem-Dry Stain Extinguisher
4. Pour Your Liquid Over the Spill
   • Pour whatever neutralizer you choose over the wine stain. Then using a clean towel begin blotting up the liquid
5. Dampen a Sponge with COLD Water
   • Then blot it on the stain
6. Apply Salt
   • Shake salt onto the wine stain. This helps deter the wine from setting into your carpet and leaving a nasty stain behind.
7. MORE SALT!
   • Keep applying salt until it no longer absorbs the wine. After this, cover the stain with another layer of salt.
8. Cover with a Layer of Paper Towels
9. Place a Heavy Object on the Towel
   • Place a heavy object on the towels and allow it to sit over night. Remove the next morning.
10. Vacuum the Salt
    • After the salt has dried vacuum the area and inspect the stain area.
11. The Stain’s Still There?
    • If the stain is still there repeat the process or call a professional.
