Title: Red wine stain
Post by: lands on July 06, 2008, 05:22:52 pm

I have a red wine stain on a wool csrpet to treat tomorrow. Custy put white wine followed by shampoo of some sort.

Been a while since I did a wine stain. Was gonna attempt in the following order

a, rinse with water

b, pre-treat with pureclean

c, Try M/S

and if still no joy go to Rx followed by Iron use.

Is there anything I have missed?

Custy has been qualified.

Hi Pete,
I would rinse well with cold water first to remove anything the customer has tried using, Then apply stain pro or a protein spotter leave to dwell then rinse with cold water to emove the wine. You will then be left with the tannin mark, you need to apply browning prescription diluted 1-1 with cold water and apply, leave for 20 kins then rinse again with cold water.
If the stain is still visible use the red RX metod with the iron.
As a last resort you could try the oxi brite , fibre buff and fibre shampoo method.
Depending what the customer has used you may be in for a tough one mate.
Good luck Mark

Concur with Dave, except I would change Stain pro for Tannox on point 2. This means that 8 out of 10 times I dont need to go to point 4 ;)

rinse with an acid rinse, (to remove customer stuff, may remove stain at this stage),  then apply an acid stain remover, (alltec tea and coffee remover is the best I have come across), then rinse with acid rinse still in porty, hey presto stain has gone, well 9 out of 10.

red wine is on the acid side of the PH scale therefore requires an acid remover.

John,
did a loads of coffee/tea stain in an office block with the alltec it worked great, only problem now is I really can't stand the smell, so I have to use a mask if I do a lot of stains, suppose my mind/body is fed up with it.

As Len has mentioned regarding rust remover

Custy called me on a recommendation to help her on a red wine stain to a 3 month old "John Lewis" wool carpet today, she had used all the usual panic methods of trying to remove it only to make it a lot worse! (We all know what the usual suspects are)

I extracted only using hot water to remove 80% of the stain and those usual suspects, then used Chemspec rust remover in a trigger spray to finish off with a 100% result!

Custy was thrilled to bits
