I have a red wine stain on a wool csrpet to treat tomorrow. Custy put white wine followed by shampoo of some sort.

Been a while since I did a wine stain. Was gonna attempt in the following order

a, rinse with water

b, pre-treat with pureclean

c, Try M/S

and if still no joy go to Rx followed by Iron use.

Is there anything I have missed?

Custy has been qualified.

Hi Pete,
I would rinse well with cold water first to remove anything the customer has tried using, Then apply stain pro or a protein spotter leave to dwell then rinse with cold water to emove the wine. You will then be left with the tannin mark, you need to apply browning prescription diluted 1-1 with cold water and apply, leave for 20 kins then rinse again with cold water.
If the stain is still visible use the red RX metod with the iron.
As a last resort you could try the oxi brite , fibre buff and fibre shampoo method.
Depending what the customer has used you may be in for a tough one mate.
Good luck Mark

Try wine away from lakeland products.
Not infalable but one of the best wine removal produts that I have used.

[Dave Roelants]

1) Rinse
2) Stain Pro
3) Rinse
4)Sodium metabisulphite
5)wait 15mins, rinse.
6)reapply sod.met if needed and rinse
7) collect payment from amazed and happy client

Concur with Dave, except I would change Stain pro for Tannox on point 2. This means that 8 out of 10 times I dont need to go to point 4

Your starting to sound a bit like Len. Have priced on stain removal only. If she want the meta bi she will haver to cough up a bit more as I could be sitting around for a few hours.

[Mike Osbourne]

who sells Tannox? 

[Karl Wildey]

rinse with an acid rinse, (to remove customer stuff, may remove stain at this stage),  then apply an acid stain remover, (alltec tea and coffee remover is the best I have come across), then rinse with acid rinse still in porty, hey presto stain has gone, well 9 out of 10.

red wine is on the acid side of the PH scale therefore requires an acid remover.

[john rees]

 I have to agree with karl, I've never had a red wine stain that I couldn't remove with alltecs tea and coffee stain remover......... this reminds me I must order some more!just a pity it smells so bad!
               all the best

Hi Dave were can I get the Sodium metabisulphite from, and what is the dilution, regards terry

[Karl Wildey]

John,
did a loads of coffee/tea stain in an office block with the alltec it worked great, only problem now is I really can't stand the smell, so I have to use a mask if I do a lot of stains, suppose my mind/body is fed up with it.

[gwrightson]

Any wine /beer home brew making supplier will stock sodium metabisulphate  used it today as a last resort on dog muck,
see todays post " Do I sell chemicals "

geoff

[Fred Gullan]

 Spray and Go (Chemspec ) is basicaly Sodium Metabisulphi`te. maybee cheaper to buy it from another typ of supplier as has been said.

Regards

Fred

[markpowell]

No rinsing Mark, just brush in and leave to dry (no movers etc)
