Ah!, the pleasures of a nice evening with friends, the warm glow of conversation, and glasses of fine wine. Unexpectedly, a glass topples with enough speed to introduce superstition and outpour fresh blood over your rug. Desperation sets in, why did this happen on the rug, oh why? For folks like y’all, who love to skid about on a thick-piled floor even slightly these deep cleaning North Shore warriors prepared warriors long since in-coming to battle all these daunting red blemishes.
At first glance, it might seem a bit brusque to soak up that smudge of spilled wine by mashing the oil from a slice of sandwiched coagulated pork into it. But do resist this temptation. It will not work; rather, scrubbing at the stain is like trying to put a hat on bad hair–it’s an aesthetic disaster. To blot a stain, use a white cloth or paper towel and gently, delicately dab at the spot. Don’t necessarily try to wipe out the stain, just strive for maximum absorption.
Water has an Ay-paltry reception from this unprepared desert of a carpet. On a piece of white cotton or a very absorbent paper towel brush some water. While Hot Water may seem like the more aggressive solvent, here’s a little knight who jumped too early and sights the stain in deeper. Cold water is your tentative friend, cajoling the spot but not letting the disease take hold.
Oh, what a humble hero! This baking powder has escaped humanity’s hell and sprinkled itself over the top of a moistened stain, just like someone sprinkling icing sugar on a cake. Here it stays as motionless as a rock for between ten and fifteen minutes. In our tale of rescue, the baking powder absorbs the wine so conscientiously that your lovely carpet will live in safety for a little while longer.
