NO! We’re going to fight alcohol with alcohol! Just follow these three easy steps.


Step one, blot the spot!


The best time to fight a stain is while it’s still a spill, the fresher the stain the easier it will be to remove. So get some clean white towels, even paper towels will work, and start soaking up as much of the wine as you can.

Blot the stain, never rubbing; rubbing will only make it worse. When one towel gets dirty, switch it for a fresh one. Once you’ve soaked up as much the stain as possible then you can move on to step 2.


Step two, bring on the alcohol!


You can use any kind of clear alcohol to treat the stain, rubbing alcohol, white wine works too! Alcohol has properties that dissolve oil-based compounds like food.

We like to use vodka! Apply a generous amount of vodka over the entire stained area.


Step three, blot some more!


Use more clean white towels to soak up as much of the stain as possible, if there is any left.  Most likely the clear alcohol removed the stain completely. 

The alcohol is strong enough to remove the stain while not strong enough to harm the carpet. There you have it! A super-secret tip for cleaning carpet stains from Dallas Maids to save the day! We’ll be back soon!
