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

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.

Should I use hot or cold water for the cleaning solution?

Use cold water, as hot water can set the stain and make it harder to remove.

What if the stain is old and dried?

For old stains, you might need to rehydrate the area with a bit of water before applying the cleaning solution. Let it sit for a few minutes.

Are there any commercial products you recommend?

Yes, look for upholstery cleaners that are specifically designed for your fabric type. Always test on a small area first.
