Great product I have tried to get it in larger containers but up to now no joy.

I  have had fantastic results with wine away and also micro/s both giving good results but none better than the other.

If anyone knows where I can buy wineaway from in larger amounts please let me know

you can become agents if you wish for wine away as i did but found no market for it its quite simple and you can buy as much as you like. if you contact the company in america they will put you in cantact with the english wholesaler who will be happy to supply at a slightly discounted price on condition you buy in bulk

This morning;

Beige 80/20 cut pile with red wine stain centre of room, removed with Wine Away in about 5 minutes, £48.00 call out charge ;)

You can buy as much as you want but not in 5lt containers, not in this country any way.

I would qualify this by saying that I have acted as an agent for Wine Away and have sold loads of the stuff over the internet.Mainly to domestic clients who are already aware of the product but have trouble obtaining it in this country.

In all due respect I dont think the cost of whatever you use is an issue as long as it works.

After all you should be charging the client accordingly ( and most expect that  anyway ).

Lady dropped a bottle of NZ red unopened which hit a bottle of Grenadine which shattered. An area of 1/2 sq mt of pale green wool soaked. No3 and a good rinse,,, magic.

Are some of you seriously suggesting that using microsplitters on red wine stains completely remove the stain?
p.s I am not being pedantic - just never tried m/s on wine before.

As someone who has done stain removal for many years on behalf of the insurance industry, can I just mention that no 2 stains are alike.

Many times I have gone out and a simple spray with various products over the years, and magic, the stain disappears.
However on others no matter what you try, you just can't completely remove it.
It all depends on the fibre, what was spilt, what the customer has done to it, don't believe what they tell you.
In short there is no one magic product out there.

Agree with John there! To me the main thing is if it hasnt been touched you have alot greater chance of doing something with it. I removed a bad red wine spill from an 80/20 with woolsafe microsplitter & water flush no problem the other week . I tested a reducing agent & it also worked but went for the least harsh treatment .The thing was they hadnt touched it! Other spills that had been messed with or were old would be another story.

Never moved a red wine stain with either m/s or winaway though it smells nice!
The only thing I ever get red wine stains out with is chemspec spray n go or more recently and even better alltechs chem.

Thanks and I have done so. I think it is a product I already use just under a different name but I will test it against what I have and let you know. Best, Dave.
