Don’t rub the stain though, as this will only spread it further and cause it to sink deeper into the fibres..Create a cleaning solution with a tablespoon of distilled white vinegar, a tablespoon of washing up liquid, and 500ml of warm water.. Pour a small amount of the cleaning fluid onto a clean white cloth.

Use this to dab at the stain, which should hopefully transfer onto the cloth..Frequently blot up the area with a separate dry cloth.. Repeat the process of wetting and drying the stain until it’s gone (or no more wine is being removed onto the cloth)..Using another clean white cloth, apply cold water to the area to dilute any remaining cleaning solution and wine.

Blot it up with a dry cloth..Allow the area to fully dry before walking on it again..

There are specialist wine cleaning products on the market.

These can be effective, but the DIY solution above can still work in many situations – plus most people already have white vinegar and washing up liquid in their house.. What Should You Do If The Stain Remains Visible?.Create a mixture of one tablespoon white vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of washing up liquid, and 250ml of warm water.. Use a white cloth to apply the mixture to the stain.

Use a blotting technique to apply small amounts of the mixture, then frequently dab it dry with a different white cloth.. Repeat this process until the stain has been removed.. Rinse the area by sponging cold water into the carpet fibres.Then use a blotting action to remove the excess water..

Allow the patch of carpet to fully air dry.You can also use paper towels to remove moisture from the carpet so that it dries faster..
