Clean up:
If it has just happened mop up the excess wine with a towel and either pour white wine or if you can't face more wastage, cover the stain in salt then vacuum it up when it absorbs all the wine. You may need to repeat this process.
However if it's the morning after and the stain has been there all night you may might need to take more stringent measures and use hydrogen peroxide solution, (NB the stuff you get from the chemist not the stuff you pour down your toilet) mixed with dish washing detergent or carpet shampoo.
Mix them together and pour it directly onto the stain. Leaving it to soak for 10 mins. Next use a cloth and a basin of warm water to rinse out the solution and the stain will disappear. You can get on with your life and your carpet will live to be stained all over again next time you have people round. |
