Step-by-Step Wine Stain Removal

Follow these steps to banish that wine stain from your precious surfaces:

1. Blot the Stain:

  • Carefully blot the wine spill with a clean cloth or paper towel to soak up as much liquid as possible. Avoid rubbing, as it may push the stain deeper.

2. Apply Salt:

  • While the stain is still wet, generously sprinkle salt over the affected area. The salt will help absorb the remaining wine.

3. Rinse with Cold Water:

  • Rinse the area with cold water to remove the salt and any remaining wine. Blot again with a clean cloth.

4. Make a Cleaning Solution:

  • Mix equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and dishwashing liquid. Apply this mixture to the stain. Gently blot with a clean cloth.

5. Baking Soda Paste:

  • If the stain persists, make a paste using baking soda and water. Apply it to the stain and let it sit for 15-30 minutes. Then, scrub gently with a soft brush.

6. Vinegar Rinse:

  • Rinse the area with a mixture of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio). Blot dry with a clean cloth.

7. Repeat as Necessary:

  • If the stain remains, repeat the process until it’s gone.
