So, we're at Nicol's mom's house, watching Calendar Girls. Nicol is having a glass of red wine, and BAM! Before you know it the wine is spilled on the carpet. What's worse: the carpet is WHITE.
Great.
She blotted it out, best as she could, but that stain was not going away without a HUGE fight. She gave up, and decided that this morning she would rent a carpet machine. To me that is a hassle...driving to the store...filling out the paperwork...paying money...dragging the machine into the house, etc., etc.
So I typed "what takes wine stains out of carpet" into the internet search bar, and took a chance that there would be some recipe for a home remedy, and VIOLA! The writer suggested dish soap and hydrogen peroxide, and she assured me that the stain would disappear almost immediately. What the heck. I mixed it up, Nicol still insisting that she is going for the machine. I sprayed the mixture on the stain, and sure enough, it disappeared almost immediately. The carpet looks brand new!
She assures that it works on any stain in carpet or clothing. I thought I'd share it with you.
