How do I get red wine out of my sofa

Written by on 10 Jul 2011

Question – How do I get red wine out of my sofa?

Answer –

If you spill red wine onto a fabric sofa or armchair, prevent (or at least limit) any staining by following this advice.

As with all spills, act as quickly as possible to stop it spreading further and soaking into the sofa’s upholstery.  Grab some kitchen roll, or a clean old towel (it needs to be absorbent) and soak up the spilt wine by blotting.  Keep doing this, as firmly as you can, until no more wine comes out of the fabric onto the cloth.  Never, never be tempted to rub or scrub at the fabric.

Then, following the instructions on the can, use our Chem-Dry Stain Extinguisher, or Chem-Dry Spot Remover for the next stage.  Continue to dab (remember – never rub) at the fabric with a clean cloth moistened, with the Chem-Dry solution,  until no more red wine residue comes out onto the cloth. During this process, take care not to over-wet the fabric.

If you don’t happen to have a can of either our Chem-Dry Stain Extinguisher or Chem-Dry Spot Remover handy, try the above with plain or fizzy water only.
