Is there ANY way to get out a red wine stain?

[PattyC]

Hi All,

Any expert ideas on getting rid of a large red wine carpet stain? I already
tried several things, so maybe it's fixed in there forever. But I can't
believe there isn't SOME way to make this grey ugly map-looking thing
disappear from the middle of my beige carpet! (Hard to imagine one glass of
wine could spew that much....)

All help appreciated.

FYI, I did some searching and found most promising idea of using a 1:1
mixture of
hydrogen peroxide and detergent. I used clear Bissell rug cleaner along
with the hydrogen peroxide. Mixed up one cup (total) and put that in a
spray bottle. Sprayed the beige rug. Blotted dry. Repeated the process
(because there was still a very pale grayness). The stain is now GONE.

Great idea and I'm surprised more people don't know about it. I'm thinking
this would also work on other stains, as long as the rug is not a dark
color, of course. The mixture is I guess bleaching the stain/rug, but
that's OK with me.

Much thanks for all the replies. Check this out if you want to know more.

I have this huge baby oil stain in the middle of my beige carpet. I am
not going to tell you how it got there though. I just tell people its
coffee, if it ever actually sticks out among the clutter. It never
occurred to me to try to clean it up though.

I also have an oil stain on a carpet. I have tried to get it out.
Several times. Unsuccessfully. It is a carpet that can be taken to
the drycleaners. It will cost a fortune, though.

try soaking it in club soda and see if that helps, Lee, who just heard this
from a friend

I'm told that even after a red wine stain has set, white wine will still
fade it (must use a lot, like 3 x the spilled amount). Keep cheap white
wine around in case of red wine spills.

try the enzyme cleaner from Wal-Mart, Lee
