Has anyone got a way of removing Redwine after the customer has put Vanish on it?

20 bottles of red wine and 10 bottles of vanish should match it up nicely.

Slightly different but had a coffee stain earlier this week that had been down nearly a week on a beige wool mix, customer had treated with vanish a few days prior.
Rinsed with acidic rinse to clear out any remnants of the vanish and she was as pleased as me to see it completely disappear with no other treatment. She now thinks I'm a miracle worker! ;D

Custy asked me to get red wine of a westex natural 3 day old carpet .......

when I arrived she then mentioned that hubby had used a steamer on the wine :o
the night b4 I came........................ ::) :o!

Of course I had a little try to see if a small miracle cud happen with the usual methods ................!

Thought bout the oxy brite foam method but didn wan take the risk until ive tried it a few times at ome .................!

Told custy there was no chance with wool + Steam bla bla etc etc .

custy said new carpet , told her to get 2 quotes from good long standing companies

she did and I saved her £230 inc the fit by us ............ Made myself £190 and going to scotch guard  the rest of the house 4 Bed HSL Dinning £400  Nov 23rd while there in London xmas shopping............" we do the London shop or Paris every year"
And she booked up for the next 5 years on a CP .

If it wont come out then new it most be !!!!!!!!

some of the answers to this post suggests that their some people really do give up easily  ;)

quite often I have had red wine removed just by plain water extraction,

but if all else fails then sodiummeta works 9out of ten for me.
