Title: Hydrogen Peroxide on red wine stains
Post by: Aquakleen Restoration Services on January 31, 2008, 06:24:12 pm: Hi all!
Does anyone use Hydrogen Peroxide on red wine stains? I popped in to John Kelly's at Restormate the other day and its what he uses and he swears by it when used and dried with a hair dryer immediately.

I am getting some off the guy who cuts my hair and he says he is not allowed to sell it as its what terrorists use to blow up people but can spare me a drop!

Any thoughts?
Cheers
John

Too stronger concentration can turn wool to a brown mush :o when over heated.

I often find a straightforward h/w/e can do the trick ,provinding its a recent spill.

Two lots of 'H' to one lot of 'O', stir well.

Mmm, Mike knows something we don't, he wouldn't have asked that one otherwise 8)

Post by: colin fitch on January 31, 2008, 09:25:03 pm: Take your 1 litre of h/p 12% volume
and add to it 1 litre of that special chemical [H20] ;D.

You now have 2 litres of useable h/p at 6% volume ;D

Post by: Kev Loomes on January 31, 2008, 11:13:50 pm: Yep peroxide on red wine works a treat. Try to extract first as a lot will lift, then the peroxide/hair dryer. I normally buy mine from a hair dressing stockists and pay just a few quid for 18% vol. I then mix with distilled water purchased from the same place (at the correct rate).

I end up with gallons but its so much cheaper than buying silly little bottles from suppliers ;D

They do what it says on the bottle, easy really.
