We’ve all been there; whether during a party or a cosy night in – the dreaded red wine stain when even a small spill can look disastrous.
However, it needn’t ruin your night as BISSELL, the experts in carpet cleaning, has shared its top tips when it comes to removing red wine. Just remember to act fast, as the longer the wine is left to set into your carpet the harder it can be to tackle.
ONE

Vinegar, the old kitchen cupboard favourite, can come in very useful too. Mix 1 tablespoon of washing-up liquid, 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar and 2 cups of warm water.

Red wines slightly lighter cousin can also come in handy when it comes to accidents. Pour a little white wine onto the stain and blot with a cloth to work it in. Applying baking soda too helps loosen-up the stain whilst the white wine works its magic.
