Hi all, I have a red wine spillage to remove next week which I have not seen yet. The customer says it covers a splash-area of about 2metres!!! I usually use Alltecs Specialist Stain Remover which contains Hydrogen Peroxide
but it is a long drawn-out process. What do you all recommend for removal over a large area?

This is an add on to sell to customers instead of using vanish or 1001 plus it works

Have to agree ;)
For red stain removal Wineaway is by far the best product I have come across,it's 100% safe, in most cases quick & easy and can be used on lots of other berry type stains and even coffee & blood.
It can be used on most textiles even silks and is often used as a pre-wash for troublesome stains on clothes and linen, take a look here:

Job done folks ;) I went to have a look at it today and it was nowhere near as bad as the customer implied. I used Alltecs Specialist Stain remover and the wine disappeared as I was applying it. A forty five minute job including extraction for fifty quid. ;D
-
5 lt sizes are not available in this country yet ::)
-
Hi there,
Did anyone ever find out if we can get " wineaway " in the 5 ltrs if so could you please let me know.
Regards Tony

Hi Tony
Wine Away is not available in 5lt containers in the UK at present.
-
Hi Woodman,
Many thanks for answering. I did read what you had said that earlier on the thread but just hoped that things had changed.
It seems a dear way of buying this product in those small containers especially this time of the year.
If you get to know any more info on this product could you please let me know.
Kind regards Tony.

am i using wine-away incorrectly? it has never shifted anything for me, no matter what the fabric is or the age of the stain, what do you find is the best way of using it
-
Not sure how your using it but I use it a lot and while it will not remove everything, everytime, it can be a real time saver on some jobs.
I've been in and out in 30 minutes on some jobs where it's just a fresh wine stain. On tougher jobs I have applied it ,left it and returned another day to remove the stain. Sometimes it will not take it all out but enough to satisfy and on others it does not work at all and you have to go down another route and start upping the strengths applied.
What it won't do is any damage! so always start with it first.
-
We always HWE first to draw most of it out (which also gets rid of any chemicals they may have used!), sometimes it lifts with just this method - although more so on carpets than fabric.
When the extraction process has finished, simply apply Hydrogen Peroxide (6 or 7%), leave for a few minutes and then blow dry off. 9 times out of 10 it will disappear. This is the safest, effective and cheapest way ;D

Hi formila6,
Can you please explain the following:

What is and where do you get hydrogen peroxide, sorry for sounding stupid but I've never heard of this before....
Kind regards,
Jason.

Jason,
Hydrogen Peroxide is commonly used to bleach hair (h2o2) , your'e obviously too young to remember peroxide blondes :o
Alltec sell it at 6% , I think , but be careful as bleaches are not selective.
It's worth being ready to extract it , at least until you are experienced in its use.
Cheers

I used the same, try hairdresser suppilers 1 tr is about £6-7 but be carefull
-
Yes, the peroxide I get is from a Hairdresser supplier. It costs about £5.00 for 5ltrs and I make sure I get the 60 vol (18%) which I then ratio down with distilled water (also available from same supplier). This gives me over 3 gallons approx all for the price of about a tenner ;D
Hope this helps.
