What removes red wine stains?

Answer 1

A stain from red wine can be one of the toughest to remove. Red wine contains tannins which makes it so bright but also makes it harder to get rid of. If you do not want to use chemicals there are a few household items that can help remove the stain. If you set the stained item on a clean towel, you can use a mixture of liquid laundry detergent, and peroxide. Work that into the stain and then rinse with cold water. You may need to repeat this a few times to remove all of the stain.

Answer 2

Stain Rx is the best stain remover out there. I have been using it on red wine stains since 1969. Just touch it to red wine, iodine, berries (INCLUDING POMEGRANATE), fruit punch, cranberry juice, and the stains disappear in a second. Stains such as mascara, lipstick, blood, balsamic vinegar, vanilla extract and others come out with a little massaging and rinsing. Soak your diamond, gold and platinum jewelry in it for 20 minutes to overnight, you won't believe it! By the way, the University of California -- Davis did a study on red wine stain removal and the #1, ready to use winner was Stain Rx (a.k.a. Erado-Sol). It killed Wine Away which is available everywhere. Go to their web site to see what else it does.

As far as carpeting and upholstery: I use Stain Rx on carpeting and upholstery all the time and have the method down. First, I vacuum the entire carpet or piece of upholstery being treated. Then I clean the entire carpet or upholstery with my Hoover Steam-Vac, a carpet shampooer is at least as good, plus, I ONLY use warm water - no detergent at all. The Hoover sprays in water and vacuums it out. For the carpet I use the Steam-Vac and on upholstery I use the Steam-Vac attachments to do this. While the carpet or upholstery is still wet from this step, do the following; Depending on the size of the stain, put a "dot" of Stain Rx on your fingertip and rub out one stain at a time. After treating a stain, remove all the soapy residue from that area using the instructions below and go on to the next stain. HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART: You have to remove all the soapy residue using the attachments from the Steam-Vac, carpet shampooer or a wet/dry shop vacuum. RINSE OUT ALL OF THE SOAPY RESIDUE USING WATER AND THE VACUUM. If you leave Stain Rx in the area, dust will stick forming a gray spot in a few weeks. If this happens, just add water and remove all of the soapy residue. Let dry and marvel at the job you did.

Answer 3

Red wine stains need to be removed as quickly as possible. The best way apparently is to pour some white wine onto the stain and then blot that up. Cold water after that should clear any remaining slight stain.

Answer 4

There is a product called Wine B'Gone Stain Remover Spray that works great. This is sold online or in wine shops.

Answer 5

Use a strong detergent and hot water. You may want to pretreat the stain first. Consider using bleach if the stain persists.

Red wine is a tannin stain, so it should come out fairly easily. Pretreat the stain using a commercial pretreatment. Then wash it in hot water.

Answer 7
