Red Wine on Carpets! TOP TIP

June 29, 2021

This top tip could save you £££’s came through on Facebook.

Red wine spillages are the cause of many carpets ruination.

If you have red wine at home I would suggest you keep 4 bottles of soda water (Tesco Dedworth approx 55p) in a safe place.

If you spill red wine DO NOT SCRUB.

Absorb as much as possible with an old towel, cover and tread. Then pour soda water across the spillage, absorb again. Repeat until gone.

I replied “I’d heard of salt and white wine to remove red but yours sounds cheaper “

Salt and white wine do neutralise, but the grittyness of the salt can damage the carpet fibres. Once fibres are damaged (broken) the stain is embedded, which is why you should never scrub.

Thank you.

Communities are made up of a wide range of individuals who see the world uniquely from their own perspectives. Where they were born, schooled and worked before becoming Windsorians adds to the potential magic of the community in which we live. Harnessing and enhancing that richness for the benefit of all has to be our purpose. Our main role is to facilitate conversations that turn into actions that benefit the local community in some way. Our ilovewindsor.co.uk website achieves 50,000 pageviews a year and we have a couple of Facebook Groups that achieve over 50,000 views a month, such is the popularity of social media.
