How can I remove a red wine stain from my carpet?

First, blot the stain with a clean cloth to absorb as much wine as possible. Then, sprinkle salt on the stain to absorb the liquid.

What if I don't have salt? Is there an alternative?

You can use baking soda instead. Sprinkle it on the stain and let it sit for a few minutes before vacuuming it up.

How about if the stain is old? Can I still remove it?

For old stains, mix equal parts of white vinegar and water, apply it to the stain, and blot it with a cloth. Repeat as needed.

Are there any commercial products you recommend?

Yes, look for stain removers that contain enzymes, as they are effective for breaking down tough stains.
