Remove Wine Stain From Couch

Spilling wine on your couch can be a frustrating experience, but it doesn't have to ruin your furniture. With the right approach, you can remove the stain and restore your couch to its former glory. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you remove wine stains from your couch:

Materials you'll need:

Clean, white cloths or towels
Baking soda
White vinegar
Hydrogen peroxide (optional)
Dish soap
Vacuum cleaner

Step 1: Blot the stain

As soon as possible after the spill, blot the stain with a clean, white cloth or towel. Do not rub the stain, as this can spread it and make it more difficult to remove. Continue blotting until no more wine is transferred to the cloth.

Step 2: Apply baking soda

Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda over the stain. Allow the baking soda to sit for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if possible. This will help to absorb the wine and neutralize the acids.

Step 3: Vacuum the baking soda

Once the baking soda has had time to work, vacuum it up with a vacuum cleaner. Use the upholstery attachment to avoid damaging the fabric of your couch.

Step 4: Apply white vinegar

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a bowl. Dip a clean cloth into the solution and blot it onto the stain. Allow the vinegar to sit on the stain for 5-10 minutes, then blot it dry with a clean cloth.

Step 5: Apply hydrogen peroxide (optional)

If the stain is still visible, you can try applying hydrogen peroxide. Dip a cotton swab into hydrogen peroxide and dab it onto the stain. Allow the hydrogen peroxide to sit on the stain for a few minutes, then blot it dry with a clean cloth. (Note: Hydrogen peroxide can bleach some fabrics, so test it on an inconspicuous area first.)

Step 6: Apply dish soap

Mix a few drops of dish soap with a cup of warm water. Dip a clean cloth into the solution and blot it onto the stain. Allow the dish soap to sit on the stain for a few minutes, then blot it dry with a clean cloth.

Step 7: Rinse the area

Once the stain is removed, rinse the area with cold water. Blot the area dry with a clean cloth.
