How do I remove red wine stains from my carpet?

First, blot the stain with a clean cloth to absorb as much wine as possible. Then, mix one part dish soap, one part white vinegar, and two parts water. Apply this solution to the stain and blot again until the stain lifts.

What if the stain is old and dried?

For old stains, you can try using a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and dish soap. Apply it to the stain, let it sit for about 30 minutes, then blot and rinse with cold water.

Are there any specific products you recommend?

Yes, products like OxiClean or a specialized carpet stain remover can be very effective. Always test on a small area first.

What about other types of stains, like grease?

For grease stains, sprinkle baking soda on the stain to absorb the grease, then vacuum it up. Follow with a mixture of dish soap and warm water to clean the area.
