white cotton couch.....

[Jim Martin]

glass of cheap red wine hit the floor and splashed on the white cotton couch......

I can remove it from the floor in my sleep..but never have ran across it on a cotton couch before.....

any ideas......

 

[Warren Wallace]

yea don't make there problem yours

If it's fresh, a week oxidizer ( 3%) will get it out if you can put it outside while you work on the carpet..


Then flush the oxidizer out.

 

[hogjowl]

Isn't that just the ICS way of saying use 3% hydrogen peroxide on it, and set it outside in the sun?

 

[Jim Pemberton]

If you still use Haitian Cotton Shampoo, use it as your preconditioner and the wine should come right out when you extract it. Think of it as cold coffee.

I've had good luck with 3% peroxide, too. Just don't use anything stronger.

 

[Jack May]

Don't go stronger than 3% on cotton.

I'd prefer to go straight for some 50:50 Releasit and then if any remains, a light misting of coffee/tannin treatment and it should be gone - SAFELY without risk.

and I don't need to man handle it outside.

I would go right at it with a little club soda then wait to see if it loosened if it didn't then I would warn the owner then blast it with prochem 2 part and wait then suck and if thet didn't work go to hel gel

I agree with Jim Pemberton.
Any of the white cotton cleaners, I usually don't use the shampoo but the powder dissolved in hot water.
Are you also cleaning the entire sofa?
If yes, I'll spray a little of the mixture (maybe slightly more concentrated) before and let it dwell a little and then clean with the white cotton (haitian cotton etc.) cleaner. Remember they are all acid boosted reducing agents so if you feel tempted to use the peroxide, do it first, as the reducer if used first, will neutralize it.

Good luck Jim

I've seen a light mist of stain magic make wine go away like well, magic.

 

[Jack May]

Is Stain Majic Hydrogen Peroxide or Sodium Metabisulfite based? If the latter, then that's what I was mentioning above using my Prochem Coffee and Tannin spotter.

Or maybe something else again?

thanks for the help.......I may have to find away to rent some sun shine because we are cold cloudy and rain all week....

I'd hit it with a reducer, then reducer and some steam, then stain magic, stain magic and iron. Keep uph. tool close and rinse before every step. Watch closely.

Stain magic does not need heat. Stain magic w/ heat can cause bleaching!!

Most of the time it will take out wine instantly. If not cover it with plastic after treatment and give it some dwell time.

I don't think it came out perfect but not to bad for my first try......

the rusty color was everywhere on the couch and I could not get a single on to budge....but I did manage to get 99% of the wine out and the client was very happy....

I owe you a drink Mr Pemberton....

[Jim Pemberton]

Your welcome Jim.

Nothing compared to the help you give to anyone with Vortex issues on this board.

 

[The Magician]

Good Job Jim. I would have tried 1 more treatment. I used stain magic and it took 3 treatments to memove,

 

[alazo1]

Looks good. I've had a gallon of hc for about 3 years. Anyone know what the lifecycle is?.
