Can’t get to the shops? This is the only product you need to tackle Christmas stains – and it’s already under your sink

Festive living room with green painted walls, a green sofa and an open fireplace with a wooden coffee table in front of it.

The family has arrived, presents have been opened, delicious food is cooking, and drinks are flowing. Nothing can go wrong, right? Well, if the festivities have left your carpets and upholstery looking a little worse for wear, you’ll be happy to know that white vinegar is the key to all of your Christmas stain woes.

The most common Christmas stains range from oily goose fat to sugary chocolate and heavily pigmented wine, and you must tackle these stains as soon as possible - especially if you need to remove stains from carpet, as time will allow them to penetrate deep into the fibres. This will make them even more difficult to remove when you eventually pull your carpet cleaner out from the cupboard.
