Carpet Tech’s guide on how to remove red wine stains from carpet.
It has happened to all of us at one point – great night with great company when a glass of wine miraculously finds its way toward your cream coloured carpet. In a moment of panic, you reach for the cupboard to get out your carpet spot remover. STOP. PUT IT AWAY.

Two, you damage your carpet permanently. It’s a risky gamble.

Remove red wine stain from carpet by following these instructions
- CHECK THE TYPE OF CARPET THAT YOU HAVE – IF YOU DON’T KNOW, STOP IMMEDIATELY! There is no reason risking carpet repair or replacement, over a few dollars. Contact us on 8957 3907 and we can talk you through it.
- Using a white terry cloth, start blotting the stain out of the carpet. Keep going until there is no colour transfer left.
- Spray cold water on the stain and keep blotting. If you have a natural fibre carpet, ease up on the water. Over wetting may cause browning.
- In a small bowl, mix a 1-2 table spoons of white vinegar, continue blotting until the stain has lifted.
- Put a fan over the area to speed dry it.
