The previous picture was from today in the field. It was an accident that occurred over the weekend. They requested only remedial stain removal service:

Stain magic or 40 vol. it should turn blue and rinse right out.

What does that mean exactly?

Yes, we can get it out, but we'll stop short of the 3 bucks in chemicals it will take to do the job properly?

peroxide and ammonia works on all but the cheapest of wines

 

[Pat Muller]

The easiest way to remove this type of organic (natural dye) is to use Chemspec's StainExit.
A one part no heat required stain remover

I just had 3 of those jobs since Christmas. (one of them is a notorious red wine spiller)

They all came out perfect. Total invisibility.
I sometimes don't rinse them at all.

Usually spray down Aquasilk peroxide and some trashed green (also contains peroxide) scan the UV light over it for a couple of minutes. lightly agitate with brush and blot blot blot.
Always looks better 10-12 hours later.

I use an acid spotter first then rinse with neutral cleaner, usually using a water claw to make sure that I have removed as much product as possible from the floor/pad/carpet. Then I use a product like stain magic (esteam eliminate) as a final treatment.

40 vol before I start cleaning...........any left after I clean over it I spritz ammonia and a spritz of 40 vol.

what the hell does that mean?

Blot up or extract any liquid still present before you add chemcials.

Stain Magic or any good oxidizing stain remover should work. No heat needed. No rinsing needed for most situations.

Be careful with the strength if working on wool or other natural fibers.

Anybody knows how long will an exposed (not covered with plastic) peroxide (say vol 40) left in carpet, stay active?
My concern is with people touching it and transferring to eyes etc.

Some wines contain dye (blue). Might need to use a reducer after an oxidizer.

Essentially active as long as it is wet. Once it evaporates, no longer active. Evaporation time would dpend upon temperatures, humidity and air movement plus the volume of liquid applied.

Thanks Scott,
that's why I do not feel comfortable leaving any peroxide on, for potential disaster. I always rinse it off, but than you loose a lot of the corrective power of peroxide that works with time.
The only time I do do it, is with something on top and a signed release of liability
