Pre-Cleaning Methods

First, it's best to treat a red wine stain while wet. Water is the dilution method of choice. If you don't have water, try using club soda. White wine can also be used, as it counters the effects of red wine. When you're in a pinch and this is your first incident, an old home remedy would due. First, start off by blotting the stain. If it will take you a moment to gather your cleaning ingredients, you may want to place salt on the stain to prevent it from spreading and setting. If carpet cleaning, be sure to vacuum the salt up before cleaning.

Old Home Remedies

One method of cleaning is to use a combination of hydrogen peroxide and soap or detergent mixed together and pre-soak the stain. Add water and then continue to blot with a clean towel until the stain is gone. You may substitute vinegar if the peroxide is not available.

Commercial Cleaning Products

You can use cleaning products separately or in combination with the home remedies. Be careful to follow the instructions on the label for each and test a piece of the sample fabric if possible.

While a home cleaning method is initially cheaper over a professional cleaning, it's important to remember when dealing with stains such as red wine that quality trumps all.
