Red wine stains (and similar)

Just the good Merlot spilled on the new linen sofa and the beige runner!?! No panic!

Sprinkle over the stain as quickly as possible (the more carbonated the better), repeat several times and wipe off the water in between with a rag. Also works with juice, liqueurs, syrup, etc.

The carbon dioxide dissolves the dyes from the surface of the fibers before they can settle in the fibers. Wiping in between prevents the dyes dissolved in the bubble from settling elsewhere.

And please ... forget the thing with the salt, or even MUCH salt! This is just mess! ;-))
