What's in it ?

 

[Royal Man]

I know that just a spritz of Stain Magic will remove most wine in a few seconds.

It's likely an oxidizer.

 

[The Great Oz]

Acetic acid and iso alcohol.

Evergreen Labs manufacturers two stain removal products under the brand names of Wine Away and Red Erase.

Wine Away

Wine Away is an amazing red wine stain remover formulated to most red wine stains from carpet and fabric – even some older stains. Wine Away is made from fruit and vegetable extracts, has a fresh citrus scent, and does not contain bleach or phosphates.

Wine Away is available in five sizes: a 12-oz. spray bottle, a 2-oz. travel-size spray bottle, the elegant 8-oz. brushed aluminum spray bottle, the chic red wine stain emergency kit*, and gallons.

I have had several customers try it without success, Stain Magic+iron is almost guaranteed to work.

And while we are at it.
Does the legend of using white one to remove red wine works?

Here, at Trader Joe we can get a bottle of white wine (Two Buck Chuck) for less than buying the spotters.
And to boost you can drink it after and or during application.
Lets see you do it with your red wine stain remover.

Seriously though, did any one try the white wine trick to remove red wine stain?

 

[Able 1]

I would think white wine would just dilute the wine(red) if applied right after the spill... Not sure though??

 

[The Great Oz]

Acetic acid is the tannin altering agent in tannin stain removers, acetic acid and not much tannin in white wine. I've seen the "tea dye" removed from Oriental rugs by a white wine spill.

"Acetic acid and iso alcohol".

Is that the fruit and vegetable extract the manufactuer is talking about??

 

[The Great Oz]

Could be. The product is geared toward homeowners rather than professionals, although some swear by it.

They've sure done a good job of marketing it through wine shops and specialty kitchen supply retailers. What's better for a wine snoot than a spill remover you can get in a brushed aluminum sprayer?

Brian, do you guys sub out the red stains that Burns comes across?

 

[The Great Oz]

Why would we sub out red stains?

 

[renegade_cowboy]

Why would we sub out red stains?

I always heard that you guys dont do red stains, I figure it was because you dont want some of your unexperienced techs doing something they shouldnt.

6-7 years ago when I worked at steemer I worked with a couple of your former employees.

 

[sweendogg]

Sounds like Lazy employees as well as possibly I'm guessing one of the reason's why they are now former.

 

[The Great Oz]

The former employees that went to work for SS were the ones that we didn't let take red stains out.

 

[Jim Martin]

I have had several customers try it without success, Stain Magic+iron is almost guaranteed to work.

just spritz it with ammonia and then spritz it one more time with 30 or 40 volume and throw that iron in the trash.........

 

[The Magician]

I bought a new bottle of Stain Magic 1. No more mixing? Havent't used it yet.

The former employees that went to work for SS were the ones that we didn't let take red stains out.

Is all your techs allowed to deal with red stains? If not do they reschedule for another person to come back to finish the job.
