Spilt red wine is one of the most common carpet stains, and timing matters: the sooner a professional treats it, the better the chance of lifting it.
What not to do
- Never mix cleaning chemicals
- Avoid scrubbing: harsh scrubbing can spread the stain or push it deeper
- Leave household products alone: they can set the stain
- Don't over-wet it
Why scrubbing makes it worse
Household products and scrubbing can push a stain deeper into the fibres, spread it, or set it permanently. That makes professional removal harder, and sometimes impossible.
What a professional clean can do
Red wine is among the stains that get targeted treatment, and most stains come out. Old or set-in stains, or ones already treated the wrong way, may not come out completely. Your cleaner will look at it on the day.
