So on the light carpet lay a stain from red wine. What to do? White wine is not the answer.  That is the Urban Legend’s of useful home tips. Though it may look to dilute the red stain, it is still wine, and is filled with sugars. White wine will stain the carpet as well, it just takes a little longer for that stain to appear. So the tip to pick up any wine spill is peroxide.

Use Peroxide Immediately

As soon as you notice the spill, grab peroxide and apply to the area. You will need several towels for the process. Blot the spot to absorb the top level. Add more peroxide if needed. Then, with a new clean towel, apply pressure to retrieve the stain on the lower level.

Don’t Let Peroxide Sit

Leaving peroxide absorbing into the carpet or fabric won’t be healthy for the fabric, so you’ll need to do one more step. After the stain is gone, apply a clean wet cloth to the area to absorb the remainder of the peroxide.

This step is super important if the carpet is colored. The water will dilute the chemical reaction of peroxide so the fabric doesn’t lighten.

Already Dark Fabric

If the carpet or material is already dark and the material just looks wet, you might be able to get away with washing the stain out with soap and water. It’s recommended to apply a small amount of dish soap to water, and use a soapy towel to scrub out the area.

This process should remove the stain without consequence to the color of the carpet.

So, Can You Use White Wine to Remove Red Wine Stain

No. You should not use white wine to remove a red wine stain. The white wine will stain as well, but it takes longer for the white wine stain to show up. The sugars in the wine will eventually yellow the material.

Remember, you must be 21 to drink in the U.S, and please drink responsibly.
