Return to article: How to Remove Red Wine Stains From a Carpet
on 5/12/2009 I spilt a full glass of red wine on a rug and immediately covered the stain with carbonated water. The wine completely disappeared! This only works before the stain has set, though.

on 9/21/2008 A huge goblet of red wine was knocked over onto my light colored berber carpet. Bloting, rinsing, shampooing made the spot look better but did not take the entire stain out. Researching the subject further on the web, I came across Patty S.'s "recipe" for getting out red wine stains so I tried it. Mixed 50% carpet shampoo with 50% hydrogen peroxide, and sprayed it over the spot. Then took my handheld carpet shampooer,added the solution to that, and went over the spot a few times with the shampooer. Voila! The stain came completely out! You could never tell that there was ever a red wine spill there. Absolutely incredible! Thanks for sharing, Patty S.!
on 4/13/2008 I can't believe this worked! I knocked an entire glass of red wine on my beige carpet. I was so panicked, I almost didn't look on the web. I was so lucky this was the first article that came up. I followed the directions to a tee, and you can't even tell a stain was even there! Thanks a bunch!
on 3/24/2007 Absolutely incredible! A friend splattered an entire glass of Shivaz all over my white carpet. I raced to the internet...searched this...did it...STAIN GONE!! Be sure to blot out all of your detergent/peroxide solution afterwards with water. INCREDIBLE!!
on 2/16/2007 Tried this and worked really well
on 9/9/2006 It happened last night and the only thing I had handy was Simple Solution Stain and Odor Remover for pets which I immediately poured on the carpet and it disappeared before my eyes. It is completely gone, plus there is no wine smell. The only thing is it didn't completely remove it from was the wall - which it turned to a very pale lavender so I will repaint the wall. Who knew this stuff was so fabulous?!
on 8/8/2006 This morning, after the party, I have removed the dry red wine stains from my chesterfield by using the Fantastik total bathroom (containing bleach), Last night, the wine was spread on the side of my chesterfield, the color of my chesterfield is cream. So, I put salt on stains, but it remains wine, and this morning I use the product above to remove it.I sprayed the Fantastik, then sponged it, rinsed with a wet clothe, and I used the vacuum to dry it.
on 8/8/2006 Stains disappear before your eyes. Mix 1/2 scoop of Oxy Booster with 2 cups of water. Sprinkle directly on the stain until it disappears.
on 8/8/2006 We have an old, patterned carpet that is mostly cream, upon which a large amount of red wine was spilled. In Australia you can buy Vanish NapiSan Oxyaction Max. I made up a solution 10-20g in 100ml water and wet the stain, working it in with my fingers. In a minute the stain disappeared before my eyes. I then blotted with plain water and soaked up any excess, and then vacuumed.
on 7/30/2006 Immediately sponge up as much as you can. Get a squirt bottle and mix 1/2 peroxide and 1/2 water. Then get another container and mix 1/2 Dawn liquid, (or any soapy dish washing liquid) and mix this with 1/2 water. Sponge on the soap mixture to the spot, then sponge on the peroxide mixture and rub. It's unbelievable how well this works. Good luck to any of you that are unfortunate enough to have to be looking this information up, but be assured that your worries are over.
on 3/23/2006 This only works for the first 20 minutes after a spill. Pour ordinary olive oil mixed with pepper and salt on stain and rub it into the stain. The tried and true Mediterranean cure.
