Red Wine Stains (Used mostly for carpet, but works on almost all fabrics)

I use this one for red wine stains in my carpet all the time!
Equal amounts of hydrogen peroxide (used for first aid, you probably have some in your medicine cabinet) and a soap for the fabric the stain is on. Like carpet cleaner for white carpets, or something like that.
Dawn (the dishwashing soap) works best in my opinion for a multitude of washable fabrics. I use this one the most. Joy works well too.
Simply apply the mixture to the stain, have it sit for a few minutes and scrub. It takes the stain right out, but be warned...hydrogen peroxide can bleach the fabric! So try a dab on in an inconspicuous place first to see if it'll bleach the fabric! Unless your carpet's white that is.
As always, this works a little better if the stain is fresh, but multiple treatments will take out the oldest, dirtiest red wine stain.
