Felt it burning my hands a bit - it is bleach so made sure really washed it out with warm

on 8/14/2009 PattyS and KenP YOU ROCK! I spilled a whole glass of red wine on my white carpet.. I didn't panic because I had my Oxyclean, knew to act fast, blotted, used my Bissell cleaner and went to bed pleased to see the huge stain GONE. (Did regret loosing the wine. it was a good one.)
24 hrs later I return to admire my savvy cleaning skills and to my horror there was a horrible GREY stain where my precious Zin had fallen! I read both your posts and went to work on your version, Kenneth, of Patty's "recipe". UNREAL! IT IS GONE!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I want to add that this did produce quite a bit of suds in my dirty water canister. I added a teaspoon or less, of rubbing alcohol to the dirty water and was able to complete the job w/out having to keep re-emptying. Thank You! CHEERS

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 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.
