How to Remove Red Wine Stains With Peroxide

Step 1

Soak up the puddle of spilled red wine with a dry cloth or paper towels. 

Step 2

Mix 1 cup of plain tap water with ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide.  Add a few drops of liquid dish-washing detergent.

Pour into a spray bottle, and shake well. 

Step 3

Spray the solution directly onto the red wine stain.  The hydrogen peroxide solution bleaches out the color of the wine.

Once the stain is clear, use a shampoo or wet-vac machine to remove the peroxide from your carpet or upholstery.  Blot the area with a dry towel, and then repeat the wash-and-blot process two more times.

If the red wine has spilled on your clothing, then wash it immediately.
