How Do You Keep Homes in the Country Clean?

Throwing a party in your home is exciting, but there's also the chance that something goes awry when food and drinks spill on your carpet. While bright red wine stains may seem devastating, you can rest assured that there's always a way to get them out –– even with regular products available in your home. This guide will equip you with home-based carpet cleaning remedies to get rid of red wine stains in the middle of a party.  

Remove Red Wine With Club Soda

You'll be surprised at the brilliant cleaning properties possessed by club soda. Club soda typically contains traces of sodium bicarbonate, which you probably recognise as baking soda. This ingredient mixes with the red wine stain to loosen it from the carpet fibres, making it easy to remove even in the midst of a party. You simply need to take a lint-free cloth or sponge and douse it with club soda. Blot the stained area gently to ensure that it doesn't spread around the carpet. Let the club soda sit for a while and then soak it up with a clean lint-free cloth. The soda should be able to remove most of the stain from your carpet. The best part is that you're probably already serving club soda at the party, so you'll have it at home.

Treat With Baking Soda Or Salt

When you're in the middle of playing host to your guests, you probably don't have the time to indulge in a long-drawn carpet cleaning process, but you certainly cannot leave the ugly red wine stain as it is. You can treat the red wine stain with either baking soda or salt, after you blot it with a paper towel. Once you blot the stain, simply pour salt or baking soda over the affected spot. The sodium in both salt and baking soda will loosen and absorb the stain from the carpet surface. Once most of the stain has been removed, you simply need to scoop up the mixture. Your red wine stain will either disappear or will considerably lighten, allowing you to get on with the party without much stress.

Apply Some White Vinegar Over The Stain

White vinegar contains acetic acid, which doubles up as an excellent cleaning agent when it comes to removing all types of carpet stains, including those from red wine. Blot the stain using a lint-free cloth and pour or spray some white vinegar over the stain. Make sure you don't rub the stain or it will spread to the rest of the carpet. The vinegar will loosen the stain from the carpet fibre to remove it from the surface. Wipe over the stain with a paper towel to remove the vinegar and red wine solution. The stain should now disappear, while your party continues.
