How to Clean Red Wine

Red wine contains tannin. Using unsuitable detergent when attempting to clean wine stains will lead to the permanent damage of the fabric.

First, soak the spilled wine with paper towels. Drench with sparkling water - the carbon dioxide bubbles it contains will help to push the stain out. Repeat with tap water and apply a wine removing detergent. Wash as usual at a temperature suitable for the fabric.

The same procedure can be applied on carpets.
Do not use soap, salt or washing liquid, it will ruin the fabric you are trying to clean.
