1. Club Soda and Table Salt
If the red wine has dried up, club soda and table salt are the perfect combination to remove it. First, apply the club soda to the stain so its carbonation can lift up the red wine from the carpet. Then, use table salt to soak up the red wine. We recommend leaving the salt on the stain over night so it fully absorbs the stain.
2. Talcum Powder and Corn Starch
Both of these items can soak up red wine very easily. Once again, leave the substance on the stain overnight to ensure it soaks the stain up completely. Vacuum the next day, if necessary.
