White Wine On Wool Carpet

Some homeowners swear by plain old vodka and say that it does the trick perfectly.

White wine on wool carpet.

White wine works effectively at diluting and lifting the dark red color of red wine. The white wine will neutralize the staining components in the red wine and help lift it off the carpet. In a small bowl pour two cups of warm water. White wine dilutes the color of the red stain much like water lessening the impact of the stain.

Baking soda is more than a leavening agent. A wool carpet stained by red wine calls for a mixture of vinegar baking soda and cold water applied gently so as not to damage the wool fibers. As with most stains it s best to blot the stain to remove any wine that hasn t been absorbed yet. Use plain water or mix one tablespoon of liquid hand dishwashing detergent and one tablespoon of white vinegar with two cups of warm water.

Use only a small amount to avoid over saturating the carpet. Alternate parts of the cloth to always blot using a fresh spot. White wine might seem like a crazy stain remover but you can fight wine with wine. It may feel a bit odd to be pouring white wine onto your carpet but hear us out.

Alternatively dust the area with baking soda leave it for 10 minutes to absorb the moisture and vacuum the powder up. Use a clean white cloth to blot up as much of the red wine as you can right away. Using a clean white cloth sponge the stain with plain. Use a clean sponge or towel to soak up any excess liquid.

It may seem like the last thing you want to do is to pour more wine on your carpet but clear colored white wine can actually be a lifesaver if you don t have water handy. Pour a little white wine onto the stain. You can use paper towels or a clean cloth. If there s a visible white wine stain on your carpet you should spot clean the area in a similar way to cleaning upholstery.
