How To Remove Red Wine Stains From Your Carpet: Step-by-Step Instructions

 

1. Blot the Stain Immediately

  • Action: As soon as the spill occurs, use a clean white cloth or paper towel to blot the stain.
  • Purpose: Blotting helps absorb the excess wine and prevents it from seeping deeper into the carpet fibres. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.

 

2. Apply Cold Water

  • Action: Dampen another clean cloth with cold water and gently blot the stained area.
  • Purpose: Cold water helps dilute the stain, making it easier to remove.

 

3. Apply 1001 Carpet Care Mousse

  • Action: Shake the can of 1001 Carpet Care Mousse well and spray a generous amount directly onto the stain.
  • Purpose: The mousse penetrates deep into the carpet fibres to break down and lift the stain.

 

4. Allow the Mousse to Sit

  • Action: Let the mousse sit on the stain for 5-10 minutes.
  • Purpose: This waiting period allows the mousse to work effectively on the stain.

 

5. Blot the Area Again

  • Action: Using a clean cloth, blot the area to lift the mousse and the stain from the carpet.
  • Purpose: This helps to remove the stain particles along with the mousse.

 

6. Gently Brush the Carpet

  • Action: Use a soft-bristle brush to gently agitate the carpet fibres.
  • Purpose: Brushing helps to loosen any remaining particles and ensures even cleaning.

 

7. Rinse with Cold Water

  • Action: Dampen a cloth with cold water and blot the area again to remove any residue from the mousse.
  • Purpose: Rinsing helps to prevent any cleaning product residue from attracting dirt.

 

8. Blot Dry

  • Action: Blot the area with a dry cloth or paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
  • Purpose: This helps to dry the carpet more quickly and prevents mould or mildew growth.

 

9. Vacuum the Carpet

  • Action: Once the carpet is dry, vacuum the area to restore the carpet’s texture and remove any remaining particles.
  • Purpose: Vacuuming ensures the carpet looks even and clean.

 

Additional Tips:

  • Test First: Always test the 1001 Carpet Care Mousse on a small, inconspicuous area of your carpet to ensure it does not cause any discoloration or damage.
  • Act Fast: The sooner you address the red wine stain, the easier it will be to remove.
  • Use White Cloths: Coloured cloths can transfer dye to your carpet, making the stain worse.
