How to remove red wine stains: complete guide

In this article, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive guide to effectively removing red wine stains from various surfaces. Read on and discover the advice of cleaning experts to keep your clothes, upholstery and carpets impeccable.

How to remove red wine from clothes:

When it comes to removing red wine stains from clothing, the key is to act promptly to prevent the pigments from binding to the fibers. Here’s a step-by-step process to get rid of those undesirable stains:

Act quickly: The moment you spot a red wine stain on your garment, place an absorbent cloth between the stain and your skin, and use a sponge with cold water to moisten the stain without rubbing it.

Apply stain remover: Once you’ve blotted the stain superficially, it’s time to apply a stain remover. Make sure you completely cover the stain and leave the product on for about five minutes.

Soak in cold water: If the stain remains after treatment with stain remover, soak the garment in cold water for approximately 15 minutes. Then, apply the stain remover again and wash the garment with lukewarm water and bleach suitable for fabrics.

How to remove red wine from upholstery:

Light-colored furniture is particularly prone to stains and spills, but that doesn’t mean red wine should ruin your upholstery. Here are some tips to remove stains without causing damage:

Dry the spill: As soon as you notice a red wine spill on your furniture, start by drying the surface as much as possible. Use absorbent pads and press gently to absorb the most liquid.

Mix and Clean: Prepare a solution with 1/2 teaspoon of liquid dishwashing detergent and 2 cups of cold water. Wipe the stain with a sponge soaked in this solution, making sure to cover the entire stain.

Blot and rinse: Once you’ve cleaned the stain, blot the area with an absorbent cloth until the liquid is completely absorbed. Then, sponge the treated area with cool water and pat it dry again.

How to remove red wine from the carpet:

If red wine has left a stain on your prized beige rug, don’t worry. Here are some steps to effectively remove wine stains from your carpet:

Absorbs Spilled Wine: First, you need to act quickly to prevent the wine from absorbing deeper into the carpet fibers. Use absorbent cloths and gently press on the stain to remove excess liquid.

Use a specialized product: To treat red wine stains on your carpet, we recommend using a product like Wine Away. Spray the product on the stain and leave it on for approximately five minutes. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Dry and remove residue: After the product has worked, use a dry cloth to soak up the stain and remove any remaining residue. Use gentle movements and avoid vigorous rubbing, as this could damage the carpet fibers.

Prepare a cleaning solution: If the stain remains, you can prepare a homemade solution using 1/2 teaspoon of liquid dish soap and 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar mixed with 2 cups of warm water. Apply this solution to the stain using a sponge in gentle circular motions.

Rinse and dry: Once you’ve cleaned the stain with the cleaning solution, use a sponge dampened with cold water to rinse the treated area. Then, dry the rug with an absorbent cloth and allow it to air out properly.

Remember that promptness is essential when treating red wine stains on clothing, upholstery or carpet. The faster you act, the better the chances of completely removing the stain. Also, it’s important to read and follow the instructions on any cleaning products you use, as well as to test a small hidden area of ​​the surface before applying them fully.

With these tips, you’ll be able to confidently tackle any red wine spill and keep your clothes, furniture, and carpets stain-free. Remember that patience and delicacy are key in the stain removal process. Enjoy your red wine without worries!
