How to Remove Cranberry Juice and Wine from Carpet

This time of year always seems to see more family or friends around for a good home cooked meal. There are always spills that are bound to happen. Among the worse are wine and cranberry sauce.

Here are some of the tips that we have picked up in the trade when it comes to acting fast against stains and when there are stains that you just can’t seem to get out.

Act Quickly!

There are several preventative measures that you can take when it comes to making sure that spills don’t stay on your carpet. Among the best things that you can do is to vacuum regularly. Stains tend to be hard to get out when there is dirt and dust in the fibers holding it in. It’s a little too late when the spill has already happened. The next step that you need to take needs to be done as quickly as possible after the spill. Here are the steps:

Step 1: You’ll want to go get and mix a tablespoon of liquid dish soap and two cups of cold water.

Step 2: Take a sponge or cloth and then dab the stain with the solution until it no longer absorbs into the cloth and the stain disappears.

If the stain isn’t going away then there are other solutions that you can try such as ammonia and warm water. You’ll want to make sure that it won’t damage your carpet by testing it in a small area first. Just remember that stains will more likely come out when you treat them right away.
