Help. Can anyone provide suggestions as to how to remove red wine stain from carpet? If you do, did you try it yourself and did it work? Right now we have salt over the stain and waiting for it to dry. Thanks. :(

So What Happened?

We put salt on the spill ASAP. I then worked on it for 4 hours! Using spot shot for most of it and then Oxy at the end. I can't believe I got it out!

I had red wine in my carpet for 3 months and nothing worked. I found this stuff called tek ( it think that is how it was spelt). It is in a white bottle with a red spot on the front with black graphics.they sell it al meijer. I swer by this stuff it took it out completely and did not discolor the carpet. Good luck !

Use White Wine then clean the carpet. This may have to be done right after the spill but it does work.

Yes! I have solution! Go to Lowes or Menards (I don't think Home Depot carries anymore)...oh, Sears has it too...
Buy product called Capture. Buy the kit. It comes in a box. First you spray on a "pre-mist" then you sprinkle on the powder and "brush" it in, and let it dry , it says an hour, but, I'd let dry overnight.. then, vaccuum it up...
It got red wine out of white sofa for friend of mine! And, I use on ALL kinds of stains! wine, red juice, vomit, cat pee, soda, etc.. you name it! this stuff is awesome!

If you do it once, and it doesn't get it all, just repeat next night.... it will not harm carpet at all!

Good luck!

I see you got it out! Just wanted to offer that using a diaper to absorb any stain when it first happens helps tremendously!

You can try Spot Shot or Folex. Both work pretty well. You can buy them at Target.
I also know some people have used peroxide. But I never personally have.
Good Luck!

I've never had to get out wine but I use Tech and so far it has gotten up everything. I've seen it at Ace, Menards, places like that.

Hi, Nicole!
I thought I'd send my idea your way, even though it sounds like you got it fixed. I know a girlfriend who poured boiling water on a red wine stain and absorbed it with a towel. She got great results.
Just a little information for all you moms out there : )

I work at a laundromat. Look for something called wine away or try some white vinager. Either one might work.

You can try a product from Melaleuca (I sell it) that gets out everything. Let me know if you're interested in trying it.

Melaleuca's Sol U Mel removes tar, permanent marker, paint, nail polish...it's probably great on red wine also. Comes with a 100% money back guarantee.

I broke a whole bottle of red wine on our then new beige carpet. The Scotchgard owner's manual and carpet care guide said to first blot the stain, use a solution of white vinegar and water to neutralize the smell then use a mixture of water and dish or laundry detergent. I used water and OxyClean instead. I used a spray bottle to apply the solutions and let each sit for about 20 minutes. Lastly, I used our mini carpet cleaner (Bissel) to suck up the solution. I repeated several times, but it did bring the carpet back to new. Maybe you could visit www.scotchgard.com for more info -- even if your carpet is not Scotchgarded.
