Red Wine
on carpet.
Blot immediately with a white cloth working outside-in, use cold water only, and never scrub. Scrubbing drives pigment into the backing and spreads the ring wider than the original spill. Heat sets wine permanently, sometimes in seconds.

FIRST 60 SECONDS MATTER MOSTWhat should you never do with a red wine stain?
Never scrub. Never use hot water. Never use dish soap — the residue is nearly impossible to rinse out and the spot will resoil faster and darker than the carpet around it.
THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT PERMANENTWhy does red wine behave that way?
Wine contains anthocyanin pigments plus tannins. The pigment binds to fiber, and heat accelerates that bond into something permanent. Cold keeps it mobile.
How much does it cost to have this treated?
Pricing is identical across all eight cities. The full breakdown — what each service costs and what it covers — is at the bottom of the carpet cleaning page.
