Red Wine Stain Cleaning Tips in Dallas/Fort Worth

Stain Removal Ingredients

• AMMONIA: Combine 1 tablespoon of clear household ammonia with 1/2 cup water. Test a small, hidden area before applying to the stain.
• DETERGENT: Add 1–2 drops of a mild, clear liquid detergent or dish soap to 1 cup of lukewarm water.
• ENZYME DETERGENT: Prepare according to the product label directions, then apply to the stain and allow it to sit for the suggested time. Avoid over-wetting. CAUTION: Enzyme products may affect natural fibers such as wool. Use carefully or contact us for guidance.
• WHITE VINEGAR: Mix 1/3 cup white vinegar with 2/3 cup water to create a light acidic solution.

Directions

• Start with the detergent solution and blot gently to begin lifting the stain.
• Use the ammonia mixture next, continuing to blot without rubbing the fibers.
• Follow with the vinegar solution and blot again to break down any remaining residue.
• Apply the enzyme detergent if needed, then blot lightly after it has had time to work.
• Rinse the treated area thoroughly using clean water, then blot repeatedly to remove moisture.
• Finish with a dry-cleaning solvent if the stain persists, applying it with light blotting only.

Dry-cleaning solvents contain chemical-based compounds that require careful use. Follow the product instructions closely, keep the area ventilated during use, and avoid solutions that include perchloroethylene.
