<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf homemade remedies are not your kind of thing, or you happen to be a serial wine spiller, you might consider going for commercial cleaning products specifically made for removing wine stains from fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wine Away, Wine Off, Chateau Spill, Oxi-clean, and Whip-it all come with high recommendations for removing wine stains. They are available at most local retail stores or online and most have ingredients that make them eco-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They come with experience in handling different types of fabrics and set stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laundry experts will save you the risk of ruining your clothes. Though it will come at a price, you will look and feel priceless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Frequently asked questions about wine stains<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Can I use paper towels to blot wine spills?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou can use paper towels to blot wine spills depending on the fabric, but it is not recommended. Paper towels are less likely to absorb as much spill as a dry absorbent cloth would and can even lead to the stain spreading even farther. Secondly, paper towels can start falling apart, leaving behind loose paper residue, making your stain removal process more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Can I use hot water to remove wine stains from carpet?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNo, you should not use hot water to remove wine stains. It is not recommended because some carpet fabrics, like wool, will react negatively with hot water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, since a wine stain is an organic compound, it will loosen up when it comes into contact with hot water, making it spread and attach itself more tightly to the carpet fiber once dry if any residue is left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is advisable to use cold or lukewarm water, depending on which specific cleaning agent and stain removal approach you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Can white wine stain as well?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYes, just because it’s white doesn’t mean it will not leave a stain behind. White wine can leave pretty noticeable stains, especially on brightly-colored carpets. If not acted upon quickly, the white wine stain will turn brown. The best way to work on a wine stain fast is to blot excess wine away and then use saline solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Which is the best method for set-in wine stains?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe best method for set-in wine stains is a combination of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. This combination is the most reactive, so it should be used with caution. Make sure you do a spot test on an inconspicuous part of the carpet as hydrogen peroxide is known to be a powerful oxidizer and can decolorize the stained area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If hydrogen peroxide and baking soda paste do not work, you can try commercial products like Wine Away or Wine Off. And if everything else does not work, you may need to get professional help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Which is the best commercial product for wine stain removal?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFor commercial products that are best for wine stain removal, I would suggest checking the ingredients used in making them. Check if they are eco-friendly or not, and the type of fabric you are cleaning against the manufacturer’s instructions. This way, you make an informed decision that is safe for your carpet and will get the job done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>How can I prevent wine stains?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe best way to prevent permanent wine stains is to immediately work on the stain after it occurs. Blot and soak off the excess wine, then apply any of the above methods. If you, however, find that you can\u2019t control wine spills around your house, it might be time to consider having a designated area for taking your drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Wrapping up<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA glass of wine after a long day is like putting on sunglasses on a bright sunny day; it makes the glaring rays of the sun of life bearable. However, wine drinkers need to be careful that while unwinding, they don\u2019t get carried away and end up staining their clothes, furniture or belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whenever you have guests over or a party featuring wine lovers, make sure you have dry pieces of cloth close by or lots of salt, as accidents do happen. You can also choose to make it a controlled environment where no carpet is around. Better to be safe than sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In case of wine spillage, the above methods will do an excellent job in getting rid of the wine stains. Most of them use everyday household cleaning products that are cost-effective and eco-friendly. Alternatively, you can opt to get a commercial wine stain remover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any of the methods explained above will come in handy when the inevitable happens cause we all know it someday will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy cleaning! Let us know which of the methods above work best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
