How to Remove Wine Stains From Carpet With Salt.

Wine stains are one of the most difficult stains to remove. If you use simple table salt you can stop scrubbing and steam cleaning.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Table salt
• A vacuum cleaner

1. Use a clean dry cloth to soak up as much of the wine as possible. Do not scrub at the spot though, just dab at it.

2. Cover the spot with table salt. The amount you need will vary with the stain. I use about a quarter of a cup on a six inch spot. The wine will be soaked up by the salt.

3. Vacuum the spot when the salt and wine have dried completely.
