I had a few patches of Red Wine scattered about a golden coloured 80/20 a short while back. I used Prochem Stain Pro and blotted with a couple of sheets of white kitchen roll.

All spots came out on the first attempt, I was quite surprised but very pleased (I am fairly new to the carpet cleaning side of things!).

I then carried out the full carpet clean. If you're spotting only be sure to follow up with an acid rinse.

Useful link below (which I'm sure you've already seen), but just in case.

Chemspec spray and go is the best product by far on red wine.

Hi Guys

Sodium Met is good on red wine stains.

Cheers

I've never had any success using Irn-bru, it didn't remove anything and made the stain worse ;D

Being serious for a moment, I rarely use red rx and certainly not on wool, too easy to bleach the carpet. Sodium met is the way to go.

Is sodium met safe on wool then ?

I always try microsplitter spotter a little light agitation and good rinse first , as this quite often does the trick.
Then meta sulphate(browning treatment) which should remove most if not all colour stain left.
The other option is peroxide based products but there is more chance of problems with these on wool.

Kirby brought out a product some years back which is quite effective on I/B but it took a lot to work and tends to rely on high heat always meant to get it analysed at one of the Uni's.

Had a very distinctive smell which I recognised but not sure where from.
