Red wine stains seem impossible to get out of carpet and upholstery but there are some tried and true methods. We know how annoying it can be with spills, and with Texas Cleaning Services, we can help you maintain a clean home. Here are the steps you want to follow to break down that bold red wine:
Step 1: Act Quickly
The important thing is to try to remove the red wine stains as soon as possible. If a mark sits too long, it challenges to be extracted. The cleaning process begins as soon as you discover the spill.
Step 2: Blot the Stain
Blot the stain with a clean (white) cloth. It will just work to push the red wine spill further into the fibers. Blot until you can blot no more or until all wine is absorbed.
Step 3: Apply a Cleaning Solution
You can try a couple of cleansers to deal with this:
Club Soda: Soak the stain in club soda and blot with a clean cloth. The fizzing action helps the stain lift from the fibers.
Dish Soap and Hydrogen Peroxide: One Part Dish Soap to Two Parts Hydrogen Peroxide Put the mixture directly on the stain and allow it to sit for a couple more minutes. Blot with a clean cloth. Note: Remember to always test on a hidden area before trying out the method, to prevent the fabric from being bleached.
White Vinegar and Dish Soap: 1 tbsp white vinegar + 1 tbsp dish soap + 2 cups warm water Use a clean cloth to apply the solution to the stain and blot until the stain disappears.
Step 4: Rinse and Blot Again
After soaking up the urine with a cloth, apply the cleaning solution then rinse with cold water and blot with a clean cloth to reduce residue. You can repeat this as many times until the stain is clean as new.
Step 5: Dry the Area
After you remove the stain, put a dry towel over the area and press down on it to soak up any excess moisture. You could also set a heavy object on top of a towel to speed up the absorption process. Allow it to air dry completely.
Tips for Success
Always test a small patch on an inconspicuous part of the carpet or upholstery to test for staining when using a cleaning solution.
Do not use colored cloths as the dye will transfer to the fabric.
For tougher stains, you might want to break out the commercial carpet cleaner or find professional carpet cleaning services.
