Rinse it out, rinse it out again, and again, treat with sodium met + citric acid + very hot water usually job done.

Hydramasters Knock out, best thing I've EVER used on red wine!!

Chemspecs dye gone is the same product but more expensive.

Rinse out and keep rinsing until all soaps are removed.
Then using a cotton bud try the various products on very small areas to see what happens before diving in with a full blast of sod met etc.
All carpets are different by types, ages, wear, other products used on it etc so just because one person says "I had instant success with x" doesn't mean that yours isn't going to turn bright purple.
Remember under sell, over achieve is what makes you a god to the customer, so firstly tell your customer you are willing to give it a try but results could be very limited due to an attempt already being made by using fairey. If it doesn't look better you achieved what you warned but if it goes then ......

I don't think fairy will have set it.

It's not the fairy that bonds it it's the scrubbing, unless Mavis Cruet has sat on it!

Knock Out used to be a great product until they changed the formula and now its absolute crap.

You is right about the variables - something often forgotten on here - newbs may go out hitting stains with heavy chems that can create more probs than they solve - the problem is as you say one of qualification - easy to say you have a magic bullet but then find in this particular situation it no work!

My magic bullet for red wine (which I use sparingly because I cant get hold of it easily) is a product called MultiClean TakeOut - straight out of the bottle and works really well in most cases - sometimes it is ridiculously successful and then I think I wonder if I could have saved me'sen some Take Out there! Used it on a footy millionaire's carpets and normally grumpy, hard to please aforementioned actually thanked me personally!

If anyone else comes across it give it a try, saves boiling the kettle for sod met...

Spray with Stain Pro - it turns the wine stain blue;

Rinse with plain water;

Spray with hot Sodium Mets / Spray n Go;

Rinse again;

Wine is gone!

rinse and crafters acid rinse first off then try the rest if you need to.

Hi Guys

Unfortunately red wine is best removed acidic and Fairy has made it very alkaline.

Flush out as best as you can and apply acid rinse direct, should turn red again, then try 'microsplitter.

If this doesn't work sodium met/citric acid method will work most of the time.

Cheers

Doug

In my experience I have never had a redwine stain not come out with 'knock out' (as long as its not been messed with by customer) even red wine stains years old.

It should always be acid rinised, I still would never garuantee removal - but thats all obvious, heres some pictures one is a whole bottle of rew wine, please dont take the pictures I like to use real pictures taken by me in my marketing.

Used Die Gone for the first time today, large red wine stain on a wool mix,
looked more like purple. Full remove in about 5 minuets, lady was delighted and so will the husband be when he gets home, he was in the dog house. Left a nice review on Google. Happy days.
Thanks for the lead Linds 

[Robert Watson]

And like a total plonker, I never took a before and after. Ach well, next time.

[Craigp]

Nice one Rab,

certainly beats that hit and miss heat and dye transfer method don't it!


Now that's a customer for life that is!  

[Craigp]

Oh by the way, whislt it's amazing on red wine it's not good for much else. It may occasionally lighten a yellow stain but that's about it ime.

Neil - yep thats it - also available in US Quarts (c500ml) - the description does not mention even mention wine - several of their other products are also available and Ive had mixed results - just always found this one is the dogs...
