If the stain is fresh, absorb the affected surface area with a white paper towel or clean cloth. A full glass of wine ordinarily means a big spill. In this example we suggest using a big towel, placing information technology over the afflicted area with fifty-fifty downward pressure. Do not wipe from side to side as this volition spread the stain. Continue to use dry sections of the towel, folding it double and and so continuing on the towel to describe upwards equally much of the wine as possible. When at that place's no further transfer of colour from the stain to the towel, and so move to the side by side step.

Mix 75 ml of white vinegar with 150 ml of water in a misting spray bottle. Mist the solution onto the stain and absorb with a clean cloth. Continue to repeat this process as long as the stain continues to transfer to the cloth (this is too the first step for an former crimson-wine stain).

Mix a few drops of non-scented dish-washing detergent with ane cup of luke- warm water. Apply the rinsing solution onto the stain with a sponge or a spray bottle. Repeat the blotting process with a fabric or paper towel until there is no further colour transfer. Personally, I notice it easiest to use a towel and stand on the stain for greater absorbency.

Sponge an even, heavy amount of fresh h2o onto the stain to rinse out the remaining vinegar solution. Apply heavy pressure through a thick towel to dry the surface area. Echo until the odor of vinegar is no longer present in the carpet.
