How to remove red wine stains — and save your carpet

A spilled glass of red wine on a light colored carpet.

We’ve all been there. You’re sat sipping a lovely glass or red wine, you put it on the floor and somehow the glass barrels over and red wine spills everywhere, all over your carpet. The panic sets in. Everyone knows red wine is seriously tough — if not impossible — to remove. You realize you’re never getting your security deposit back now. 

Before you go into full panic mode, just hold up a sec. Yes, it’s true that red wine can be challenging to remove from carpets but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. And, as someone who has, in fact, poured most of a bottle of a very nice Merlot all over their living room carpet, I can confidently say that it is possible to remove red wine stains. Just grab your favorite cleaning tools and get ready to go.
