New carpet RED WINE

[Diyisfun]

I have just spilt red wine on a NEW beige carpet. Whilst there are plenty of entries in Google, does anyone know something that does work.

I've succeeded with white wine and salt in the past.....

white wine.....we had a friends kid use a black marker on the carpet and her mum removed it with gin

Make sure you soak it up though - Don't try to rub it out.....

Well Vanish spray worked on our carpet for 5 greese marks it was old greese too. Only trouble was that those patches are now too clean compared to the rest of the carpet!

Vigorously apply cheque book and pen .. guaranteed results.

Nothing works - you'll have to get yourself a new bottle of red wine.

A mate told me about the white wine trick and I've sucessfully used it on many occasions to remove red wine stains from the carpet and from my upholstered furniture only tried it when the stain is wet not sure if would work if the red wine stain has dried
