Anita’s tip of soaking stain in water overnight really works!! I tried other stain removal tips – salt, vinegar, some stain remover, and finally some enviromental dish detergent I had on hand- and nothing worked, only changed the colour of the stain. After leaving it to soak in water overnight as Anita suggested, I was thrilled that the stain was gone this morning!! Thank you Anita!

what if you dont have some hydrogen peroxide handy for the red wine stain??

What will work best for getting rid of red wine stains on my coffee table. Should I try the HP, water and soap, or is there something specific for wood? It’s driving me crazy looking at it!

I used the water, hydrogen peroxide & dish soap method described above and it worked perfectly! It was on beige carpet. There is a very slight pink color remaining but I will try the solution again after it dries. Thanks soooo much!

Wow, that peroxide solution worked wonders. I spilled a glass of red wine on my bathroom floor last night and some of it stained the white grout red/purple. I sprayed that on, went back to check on it 20 min later and the grout was back to white!

I had a red wine stain on a light weight cotton hoodie that I couldn’t deal with for 2 hours. Post-spill I dipped the hoodie in lake water and brought it home wet. I tried carbonated mineral water (didn’t have club soda) with no effect. Then salt. Then lemon juice. Then hydrogen peroxide. Nothing seemed to be working. Rubbed detergent into the stain and it was gone! Presumably one of these remedies “lifted” the stain but did not remove it. Moral of the story, try detergent last if nothing else seems to be working!

SODA WATER. But don’t rub it, blot it.

cover stain with metho immediatly then light

when its still wet use salt it lifts it so when it dries just get a damp cloth and itl just wipe out of the carpet.

Just poor some cheap lemonade on it if you have some, straight away! then scrub for abit.
