Have spilled Red wine on light coloured (new) carpet. Tried removing with salt but no success.
Anyone have any ideas for how to remove??
 
i did the same recently. Keep the salt on it for as long as possible it does make a difference. then get vanish stain remover for carpets, should do the job
 
White wine is also said to be very effective for removing red wine stains- but I think you need to use it before the red wine dries into the carpet.
 
A squirt of soda water always seemed to work, though I guess it depends on the material the carpet is made from.
 
just a note on using salt on redwine. The idea is to pile on a load of salt so that it will draw the red wine out of the carpet and then to sweep/ hoover up the salt.
If you leave the salt on the red wine for a long period of time it can set the stain making it more difficult to remove.

I've never tried this but I've heard it recommended. you get a piece of brown paper and place it over the wax then put a iron on very low on top of the paper - in theory that should melt the wax and the paper should soak it up... Good luck.
 
Anyone ever ring the Persil Careline. 1850 445555. They should be able to help

Yeah, I think I saw Bez (of Happy Monday's fame) demonstrating this on his slot he used to have on the big breakfast a few years ago!
