Looking around the net for different ideas on how to remove a red wine stain from carpet I came across this "home made" remedy.
step 1 Blot the spill with paper towels or a clean cloth.
Step 2 Combine 1 teaspoon carpet shampoo (or dish soap, like Dawn) and 1 cup hydrogen peroxide in a small bowl. Soak a clean sponge in the mixture, squeeze it halfway dry, then gently blot the stain. Continue until the stain lifts.
Step 3 Sponge the stained area with warm water.
Step 4 Blot dry with a clean cloth or paper towels
Anyone tried it out ?

Many people say that they have tried the above method with great success !
Cynthia B. .. And once again, Patty S.'s Dawn and peroxide mixture saves the day. Antique Agra rug. Hairballing cat. Even after I spot treated there was an ugly stain. I was afraid to try Patty's remedy because I thought it might bleach the color out of the rug and look worse. So I put it off for almost two
weeks. Finally I gingerly applied the mixture and quickly blotted it out with water. It took a few tries, and it's not perfect (perhaps because I was being so cautious). But the stain virtually disappeared--you would never notice it unless you really knew where to look. Even my mother couldn't find it. Now I can relax and live with my rug knowing I have an insurance policy against stains. And my husband can keep his cat. Thanks for the peace of mind! Cynthia B.
Spencer .. Thanks to Patty again for the red wine stain remover recipe. Worked like a charm. It also worked on a tea stain that had been in the carpet for two years. Same result, the stain just disappeared as I sprayed the mixture on
.Ira H. ... I used the dishwashing liquid and hydrogen peroxide solution on a large wine stain that i found on our wool carpet new years day. it was a very large stain..looked like someone knocked over a whole glass of wine and of course said nothing. it came up immediately and even brightened the carpet colors. this is the best home remedy ever..thanks so much for the info........
