Your favourite bottle of wine can turn out to be a disaster for your valuable rug. We all know that wine stains are headaches. But luckily, we have some easy ways for you to remove such nasty stains from your flooring. Read on to learn more about these hacks.
1. Club Soda
Club soda is a go-to cleaning solution for all wine stains on rugs and carpets. Here is how you can use it:
Isn’t it easy? You have to blot the stain, use club soda, blot and repeat the procedure.
2. White Vinegar and Dish Soap Solution
What if you don’t have club soda available at that moment? You won’t have time to wait for days to get these tools, so we have another hack for you to follow.
Instead of club soda, you can use this solution. The cleaning procedure is the same as club soda.
3. Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide can come in handy if you don’t have club soda or white vinegar. However, you should always test your rug’s fibre before this remedy as it may cause discolouration to some types of floorings.
After testing your carpeting, follow these steps to remove wine stains:
1. Always use a clean cloth for blotting.
2. Blot the stain and not scrub.
3. Don’t use sharp knives or similar tools for removing the stain.
4. If confused, ask professionals for help.
5. Act immediately and never ignore a stain.
If your rug is of a kind, like wool or Persian, we recommend a professional rug cleaner. As experts know how to remove a stain without any damage, it’s always better to turn to them in such situations. Especially if you have an old stain, these remedies may not work. The wine substances stick to the rug’s fibre and won’t be easy to remove with time. But it is not like you have to see that stain on your precious flooring forever. You can connect with experts and get your rug cleaned.
So, try these remedies, and if needed, contact professionals for stain removal.
