My mom spilled red wine on her new cream colored carpet. She attempted to get it out but failed. I also tried with Resolve and was unsuccessful.

Any ideas on how to get this stain out?

Thanks for the help!

    i have tried this and it worked; but i was working on a "virgin" stain, i hadn’t applied resolve or anything else on it. i’ve done it on both wet stains and dry, and it works

    the longer it’s on the carpet, the harder it is to remove…. the white wind idea is for next time so you can get it fast!…

    we’ve tried lots of stuff on one on my son’s rug… no luck yet…. maybe that "Wine Away" stuff on that link up there will help….. luck to ya!…

    STAIN SOLUTION–Blot (don’t soak) excess, then:
    Gooey grease 1) Sprinkle cornmeal or baking soda on greasy spills to absorb excess. Leave overnight. Vacuum when dry.
    Gravy, butter, salad dressing, olive oil, vegetable oils, mystery spills 2) Blot on small amount of dry-cleaning fluid.
    3) Blot with detergent solution of 1 tsp. dishwashing liquid and 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) warm water. Work from outside of stain toward center. Let sit 5 minutes.
    4) Sponge with warm water until detergent disappears. Cover with plain white paper towels to absorb liquid overnight.
    5) Vacuum or brush when dry to restore texture.
    Tough tannins 1) Blot on detergent solution of 1.2 tsp. mild liquid laundry detergent and 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) lukewarm water. Or, for red wine and grape juice stains, sponge with club soda or white wine.

    3) Blot on solution of 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) white vinegar and 2 cups (16 fl oz/500 ml) warm water.
