"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.
• Repeat.

Oh no, red wine stains can be tricky, but don't worry, I've got some tips to help you out:

Blot the Stain: Use a clean white cloth or paper towel to blot up as much of the red wine as possible. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.

Cold Water: Pour a small amount of cold water onto the stain to dilute it. Continue blotting with a clean cloth.

Dish Soap and Vinegar Solution: Mix one tablespoon of dish soap, one tablespoon of white vinegar, and two cups of cold water. Apply this solution to the stain using a clean cloth, and blot until the stain is lifted.

Hydrogen Peroxide and Dish Soap: If the stain persists, mix two parts cold water with one part hydrogen peroxide. Apply this solution to the stain and blot with a clean cloth. Be cautious with hydrogen peroxide, as it can bleach some carpets.

Baking Soda: Sprinkle baking soda over the damp stain and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, blot with a damp cloth until the stain is gone.

Club Soda: Pour club soda onto the stain and blot with a clean cloth. Repeat until the stain is removed.

If the stain is particularly stubborn, you might want to consider calling in professional carpet cleaners. Good luck! 🍷🐶"

"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,"
