"To remove a red stain from carpet, you can try using a mixture of dish soap and hydrogen peroxide. First, blot up as much of the stain as possible with a clean cloth. Then, mix a tablespoon of dish soap with two cups of hydrogen peroxide. Apply the mixture to the stain and let it sit for a few minutes. Blot the area again with a clean cloth, then rinse with water and blot dry. If the stain persists, you may need to repeat the process or consider professional carpet cleaning services."

"The baking soda method
• Pour cold water or white wine (if you have any) over the red wine stain.
• Soak up what you can with a clean, dry towel.
• Repeat until the stain has faded considerably.
• Mix baking soda and water into a thick paste.
• Spread a thick layer of the paste over the stain.
• Cover with a clean cloth, weighed down with a heavy book, and leave overnight.
• Remove the majority of the baking soda with a spoon.
• Hoover up any remaining baking soda.
or
The soda water method
• Pour the soda water onto the stain.
• Blot the area with a clean, dry towel.

"Prepare a cleaning solution: Add a tablespoon of hand dishwashing soap and a tablespoon of white vinegar to two cups of warm water. Using white cloth, only – so pigment from the cloth doesn't bleed into your carpet – apply a small pour onto the stain, blotting frequently until the stain vanishes.
hope this helps,"
